Reduce Stigma and Support Mental Health at Work

Mental health affects everyone. One in five people will experience a mental health challenge, and chances are you know someone who’s struggling. That’s why it’s so important to know how to help. When you can spot the signs early and offer support, you can make a real difference in someone’s well-being.

In this workshop, you’ll learn what impacts mental health, get a simple overview of common mental health conditions in adults, and discover practical ways you can support others. You’ll also explore strategies to create more inclusive spaces and help break down the stigma around mental health.
