Description:
Training is a key component of the National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace and can be used to build staff and management’s awareness and confidence. This webinar will feature two training programs available through the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC): Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) and The Working Mind (TWM). MHFA is a course that allows participants to gain the confidence and the skills to respond effectively to emerging mental health problems and crises. MHFA has been proven to reduce stigma, and increase confidence and willingness to help others. TWM focuses on stigma reduction, increasing resiliency skills and acquiring skills to manage stress. This course helps staff recognize signs of declining and poor mental health in themselves and in others. You will also hear from a champion in this field, Nova Scotia’s Public Service Commission, and learn about their strategy to train staff members in both programs. MHCC hosts free workplace webinars on the last Wednesday of every month at noon ET. Sign up today to discuss psychological health and safety in the workplace.
Special Notes:
Workplace webinars are for business owners, organizational leadership, occupational health and safety managers, human resource professionals, managers, employees and others. This webinar will be presented in English. A recording and PowerPoint presentation will be available on the MHCC’s website in November 2016.
