Course Content
- Myth and Stigma Busting
Break down common misconceptions about mental health and tackle the stigma that stops people from seeking help. Through real-world examples and open discussion, we’ll shift perspectives and build a culture of acceptance. - Prevalence and Impact of Common Mental Illnesses
Explore how widespread conditions like anxiety and depression really are, and their ripple effects on individuals, teams, and productivity. Learn eye-opening stats and insights to grasp why mental health matters to everyone. - Signs, Symptoms, and Risk Factors of Anxiety and Depression
Get clear on what to look for: from subtle cues (like withdrawal or irritability) to red flags (like chronic fatigue). We’ll cover risk factors—stress, trauma, or workload—and how they show up in the workplace. - How to Approach and the Importance of Asking ‘Are You OK?
Master the art of starting a tough conversation with sensitivity and confidence. Discover why a simple “Are you OK?” can be a game-changer, and learn practical steps to approach team members without overstepping. - What to Say and What Not to Say
Words matter. We’ll share dos and don’ts and provide scripts to support, not judge. Build your toolkit for compassionate, constructive dialogue that makes a difference. - Referral Options
Know where to turn next. From internal HR resources to external support services (e.g., EAPs or counsellors), we’ll map out clear pathways to connect team members with professional help when needed.
