A useful tool to add to your overall strategy for mental health and well-being in the workplace
We are delighted to announce the availability of a new tool in the Global-Watch tool library: Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). This tool is designed to help organizations deal with mental health issues, which have become a major concern in the workplace.
PSSM began in Australia in 2000 and has since expanded internationally. It has already trained over 4 million people in 25 different countries. This training enables employees to identify colleagues in difficulty and offer them immediate support.
PSSM training does not make you a mental health professional, but rather an ally in whom you can confide. It gives you the tools to recognize and validate your colleagues' experiences. Your aim is not to provide solutions, but rather to offer an open space for discussion and to redirect to sources of ongoing support if necessary.
PSSM training is only part of the solution for a strategic approach to mental health. To learn more about the other elements required for such an approach, we invite you to consult our new tool.
We are convinced that this tool will be a valuable resource for your organization. We encourage you to take a look at it and discover how it can help you improve mental health in your workplace.
The tool is now available to all Global-Watch affiliated employers !
