This programme incorporates key skills based on the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and has been developed under the guidance of Aware’s clinical team.
Designed for – Line managers, supervisors and/or HR managers responsible for dealing with, and supporting, employees in the workplace
Aim – To help attendees proactively support wellness in the workplace
Objectives – at the end of the training attendees will be able to;
- Identify the warning signs and symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder
- Describe & apply basic cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles to workplace circumstances
- Recognise the principles of a good wellness at work conversation with an employee
Methodology – A stimulating and participative learning environment generated in a classroom style programme, ideally delivered to a maximum of 12 managers per session.
The content will help increase the attendees’ knowledge of stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder symptoms and generally increase their awareness of mental health in the workplace, and its impact. The workshop will also provide ideas on how to structure and construct effective wellness at work conversations with employees considering various scenarios.
Also, during the training, the opportunity for attendees to apply the theory, in the form of a practical exercise involving role play with case studies, will simulate a manager/employee wellness at work conversation. This activity will help consolidate the learning from the training content and equip attendees to develop their newly acquired skills on return to the workplace.
These newly acquired skills are wholly transferable which means the attendees can practice them outside of work to develop a valuable life skill
Duration – The session is designed to be delivered over 3 hours.
