Mental health training

Mental health training is key to building capacity and developing skills in managing those with mental health problems. Mental health training can help to:

• ensure a supportive work environment and decrease stigma surrounding mental health problems
• develop leadership and interpersonal skills
• assist in overcoming barriers to return to work
• develop insight and understanding of mental health problems
• increase the likelihood of appropriate early intervention for mental health problems
• assist supervisors to support employees with a mental health problem to remain in or return to work
