Mental Health Awareness provides a basic practical understanding of the key issues surrounding mental health, both in the workplace and the wider community.
1 Hour Workshop
Mental health issues are more common than we think. Unlike some of our physical health, mental ill health is still stigmatised, resulting in people not being diagnosed or properly treated. Often those who suffer mental health problems are sometimes reluctant to seek help. This will affect their quality of life, productivity, and performance at work as well as the dynamics at home and social situations, not just for themselves but those they work with and live with.
Understanding these increased burdens mental ill-health brings is important, but also further understanding of the emerging issues that COVID and the changes to our lives that the pandemic has brought has put our mental health and well-being, well and truly front and centre.
Our workshops have been developed to raise awareness not only of the importance of mental health but also to tackle the things that affect mental health negatively.
