The course was developed to help people managers overcome these challenges.
Upcoming start dates
Suitability - Who should attend?
Managers should be confident in supporting staff experiencing mental ill health.
It is important that managers are able to spot the signs of mental ill health, know how to approach conversations sensitively and how they can support staff experiencing mental ill health.
Mental health is still the elephant in the room in most workplaces – employees are reluctant to raise the subject, for fear of discrimination, while managers often shy away from the subject, for fear of making matters worse or provoking legal consequences.
