Event Details

Join us on Thursday, January 9th at 8am for our monthly meeting to hear from Megan Hammes on Workplace Mental Health Trainings. 

Main Session Description

This presentation highlights how workplace mental health trainings can serve as a cornerstone of your company’s employee well-being strategy and an effective tool for planning impactful campaigns during key awareness months, such as Mental Health Awareness Month (May) and National Suicide Prevention Month (September).

We will focus on a three-pillar approach to employee mental health that includes Education, Training, and Preventive Interventions. Emphasis will be placed on:

• Reducing mental health stigma.

• Recognizing early signs and symptoms of mental health challenges.

• Positioning the workplace and supervisors as foundational drivers of mental health awareness and training.

• Utilizing partners (EAP, brokers, consultants, local entities, etc..) for maximum reach and resource utilization

The session includes an in-depth review of evidence-based workplace certification programs endorsed by OSHA, SAMHSA, and SHRM, with a focus on Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). This gold-standard training equips employees to identify, understand, and respond to mental health challenges, fostering a supportive work environment. Attendees will explore how MHFA and other resources can be integrated into workplace mental health strategies, supported by new research and practical applications.
