Better Mental Health and Wellbeing at Work


Mental health and wellbeing at work are influenced by individual circumstances and by how work is designed, managed and experienced. This half-day course examines what a mentally healthy workplace looks like and how people can contribute within the scope of their role.

You will consider workplace risk and protective factors, practical ways to support personal wellbeing and respectful approaches to reducing stigma, building psychological safety and starting a supportive conversation.

What to expect

Across the session, you will work through three connected areas: mentally healthy workplaces, what people can do for themselves and what they can do for others. You will assess workplace factors, consider how AI and digital technologies may affect work, explore approaches to stress and wellbeing and draft the opening of a supportive conversation.

Activities include private reflection, case discussion and practical planning. The course builds general awareness and workplace capability. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, counselling or crisis support.
