What to expect:
This interactive webinar is designed to empower everyone from team members to leaders with the tools and understanding needed to build inclusive, supportive environments where everyone feel valued.
What is covered in the course?
Participants will gain enhanced awareness of common mental health issues and their impact in the workplace. Through education, reflection and practical strategies, you’ll learn how to recognise early signs of mental health challenges and respond with empathy and confidence.
We’ll unpack the nature of stigma, what it looks like, how it shows up socially, internally and structurally, and what we can all do to challenge it.
You’ll explore how culture, language, and leadership can shape mental health experiences and how each of us, regardless of role, can play an active part in fostering openness and psychological safety. While the session offers valuable insights for those in leadership, the tools and techniques shared are relevant and accessible to all.
We’ll also delve into self-stigma and the importance of self-awareness, offering practical steps for reducing barriers to support and connection.

- Identify common signs of mental health issues in the workplace and understand their impact on employees.
