This training empowers participants to recognize warning signs, understand the factors contributing to mental health issues in high-stress environments and provide immediate, appropriate support.

High recruitment tool: Investing in workplace mental health and wellness increases retention, recruitment and productivity; lowers absenteeism, disability leave and medical costs; and reduces employee-related risks and potential liabilities. 76% of people believe companies should be doing more to support the mental health of their workforce.
