Spotting and Managing Stress and Mental Health Issues

Overview

This course addresses the stigma associated with stress and mental health issues.  Delegates will be encouraged to consider the use of language when communicating with individuals to attempt to reach a positive outcome.  The course looks at mental health in the workplace, signs and causes of stress and how this affects individuals’ behaviours and ability to think clearly. 

Delegates will have an opportunity to identify key sources of stress in their own workplaces and to consider intervention or elimination of the stressors where possible.  The course also looks at coping strategies, the role of communications and the role of external, specialist agencies in supporting individuals.

This course enables management and leadership delegates to realise their responsibilities and to develop the skills to recognise and address work related stress or other mental health issues.

This course is part of our Mastering 1st line management series.
