As a manager, you may have noticed an increase in absenteeism, stress, and expressed overload, errors, and conflicts within your team. Perhaps you personally feel emotionally overwhelmed and exhausted, which is affecting your own effectiveness.
Mental health is a crucial issue for everyone, and it is essential to know how to address it with your team while taking care of yourself.
This training on best practices in mental health is divided into two parts.
First, you will learn how to detect the signs of a potential mental health issue within the team and how to implement the right strategies to foster a climate of support, kindness, and engagement.
Next, practical tools are presented for maintaining mental health by developing self-regulation habits in everyday life.
All of these elements enable you to support your team while maintaining your own balance as a leader.
Objectives
At the end of this training, participants will be able to use terminology that will enable them to initiate conversations about mental health with their team. In addition, on a personal level, participants will be able to recognize signs and symptoms and apply practical tools to help them regain balance through self-management.
