The Mentally Healthy Workplace Training programme has been developed by the Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives in partnership with the Scottish Development Centre for Mental Health.
The course is for non-NHS staff and is designed to encourage good practice in promoting positive mental health and wellbeing, thereby contributing to a more open culture that puts mental health on the agenda alongside physical health, social inclusion and productivity.
This one day training course is delivered by an experienced trainer and allows for both an organisational and personal perspective to be pursued and enables wider discussion around mental health and employability.
The course is specifically designed for line managers, supervisors, human resources and occupational health staff and aims to:
- Give employers and line managers a broad understanding of mental health
- Increase awareness of mental health issues in the workplace
- Identify the key factors that contribute to a mentally healthy workplace
- Improve managers’ skills and confidence in dealing with mental health and wellbeing in the workplace
- Ensure that managers are aware of their legislative responsibilities in relation to mental health and wellbeing.
These issues and topics will be covered in the session:
