This training will address how mental health issues and conditions can impact the workplace. Practictioners will learn how to create a supportive environment for individuals who are experiencing mental illness or crisis episodes. We will look at how to have discussions with employees about concerns pertaining to mental wellness with respect to worker performance. Finally, practictioners will be made aware of resources that are available for employees who need treatment for mental health issues.
