Do your line managers know how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental health issues in their team members, particularly during home-working? Do your line managers know the do’s and don’ts around supportive conversations around a team member’s mental health, and the correct language for signposting onto the professional support resources you have in place?
With remote working arrangements set to remain for the foreseeable future, line managers are now at the front line when it comes to recognising the symptoms of mental ill health and managing any mental health issues that may arise in their teams.
However, many line managers lack the confidence and skills to support and guide colleagues who are struggling with their emotional or mental health, and are unfamiliar with the format and boundaries of a supportive conversation.
Our bespoke 2 hour Mental Health Training for Line Managers course, delivered virtually, is a live and interactive instructor-led session that provides:
- the basics around mental health
- risk factors and protective factors around mental health at work
- how to spot the signs of crisis, distress and mental health issues in team members
- how to skilfully handle conversations around mental health and emotional distress
- Best practices guidelines for signposting on to professional support services such as your EAP, the GP or other professional support services you may have in place
- tips for managers to promote and maintain positive mental health within their teams
The session includes fully evidence-backed statistics and data, a framework for managing mental health issues as they arise, plus the opportunity to discuss any specific issues and take advice from our instructors – all fully qualified workplace counsellors, MHFA Instructors and mental wellbeing coaches, with many years’ experience in the corporate environment.
