This training responds to important workplace needs
Work is a significant part of our life.
More than a necessary paycheck, work gives us a sense of purpose, satisfaction and is part of how we identify ourselves. Our personal successes and perceived failures at work often impact our mental health and well-being.
Until recently, many employers have not considered the mental health of employees. Workplace wellness initiatives have provided workers with additional benefits but have not considered a deeper look at the workplace culture that can be a driving force behind burnout.
Employees whose managers received the training report:
-
Reduced anger and loneliness;
-
Reduced risk factors for poor mental health;
-
Improved feelings of support from manager; and
-
Increased feelings of team cohesion.
Evidence-based training helps managers support employee's mental health
Our one-hour, online Workplace Mental Health Training for Managers teaches leaders and managers tangible skills to:
-
Recognize the warning signs of mental health distress;
-
Learn appropriate ways to respond to workplace mental health concerns;
-
Learn practical strategies to reduce employee stress; and
-
Learn preventative strategies to support employees’ mental health.
This powerful training program was originally developed in partnership with U.S. military by occupational health experts.

" I found the Workplace Mental Health Training to be highly relevant and effective for both the managers I work with and their teams. My university will be making this a required part of our manager training going forward."
