What You'll Learn

Strengthen your professional toolkit with strategies you can apply right away. The objectives below outline the core competencies you'll build through this training.

Recognize the Signs

Learn how to identify behavioural and performance changes that may indicate a team member is struggling with their mental health – without diagnosing or overstepping your role.

Respond with Skill and Care

Develop the language and approach to have supportive conversations with employees about their well-being – maintaining appropriate boundaries while showing genuine care.

Reduce Stigma as a Leader

Connect Employees to Support

Learn what supports and resources are typically available, and how to guide employees toward them without overstepping your role as a manager.

Promote Day-to-Day Well-Being

Develop practical leadership habits that support mental health as an everyday priority – not just a crisis response when someone is clearly struggling.
