Customised learning: Mental health in the workplace

With nearly half of Australian experiencing a mental health problem in their lifetime and around 20 per cent affected every year by conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, it is likely that at some point all workers will be impacted, either directly or indirectly. It pays to know how to respond effectively.

This workshop is provided by SANE Australia and will give participants appropriate information on mental illness to recognise the early warning signs in others and the skills for early intervention. The workshop will cover:

• Prevalence of mental illness
• What is mental illness? - Understanding the different types, symptoms and treatments
• Understanding and recognising the symptoms
• How to help within the boundaries of your role at work
• Common workplace situations and helpful responses
• Information and skills on managing an employee who is living with a mental illness

This program is aimed at new and emerging managers, supervisors and team leaders who may be working with or managing an employee with a mental health condition.
