The Working Mind
The Working Mind - In Person Training Session
The following courses can accommodate minimum of 8 and a maximum of 25 participants.
The Working Mind
The Working Mind is a powerful and dynamic course that approaches mental health as a spectrum, not just a static state. Participants learn to assess mental well-being, ranging from feeling healthy and resilient to experiencing severe symptoms of distress.
In addition to visualizing mental health across a spectrum, you’ll gain practical tools to manage stress and build resilience, empowering you to handle life’s challenges more easily and confidently. You’ll learn how to identify your stress triggers, break unhelpful patterns, and develop strategies to promote emotional balance.
The Working Mind in-person program offers two versions:
1. The Working Mind Employee (5 Hours)
This version offers practical knowledge to increase participants’ overall comfort level with mental illness, by introducing concepts such as the Mental Health Continuum, coping strategies, and resiliency skills.
2. The Working Mind Manager (8 Hours)
This version covers the same concepts as the Employee version, but with an additional module to provide practical knowledge such as accommodations back to work, incident reviews, and promoting a positive work environment.
