Silence about mental illness is costly and many who need help often suffer alone in that silence. How do you approach a mental health conversation in a non-judgmental and supportive way?
Change and uncertainty is impacting our mental health and our ability to cope. Research shows that one in five will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives. That means that every person is likely to have a family member, friend or co-worker that will struggle with a mental illness. Failing to address these mental health concerns within your team will result in burnout, increased absenteeism, disengagement, and lost productivity.
Discover how be supportive when you suspect that someone is struggling and become comfortable with having a conversation in a non-judgmental and supportive way, so that you can promote a productive, engaged, and psychologically healthy workplace. Learn strategies using the A-L-E-C model for addressing the issue of mental health in a supportive, open and confident way.
