Talking about mental health is essential for a whole host of reasons – reducing stigma, promoting awareness, providing support, encouraging early intervention and access to care, enhancing coping strategies, fostering a healthier society, encouraging personal growth, combating loneliness, and improving the physical side of health also. Open dialogue about mental health creates a more supportive, understanding, and healthy environment for everyone.
In this session, we look at the framework to open discussions about mental health. We learn the best ways to start a conversation about mental health, how to offer on-going support and what kind of support is appropriate for the workplace.
