WHAT WILL YOUR TEAM LEARN?
UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH
The course begins with a foundational discussion on what mental health truly means. We explore how mental health influences thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and why it is a critical component of overall workplace well-being.
STRESS AND IT'S EFFECTS
Participants will delve into the concept of stress, examining its various forms, including physical, emotional, and environmental stressors. Through practical examples, the course highlights how these stressors can accumulate and manifest as chronic stress, impacting both physical and mental health in the workplace.

PRACTICAL TOOLS AND STRATEGIES
Attendees will be introduced to practical tools, such as the "Stress Bag" metaphor, to help manage stress and anxiety. We discuss both helpful and unhelpful coping mechanisms, guiding your team on how to maintain their mental well-being in a professional environment.
