A workshop focused on mental health in the workplace is coming to Woodstock.
WOODSTOCK - People in Woodstock can attend a mental health workshop at the end of the month.
The event is called Recognizing and Managing Mental Health in the Workplace, which is being hosted by Human Resources Partners 4 Business, along with Ways To Wellbeing Therapy.
Organizer Katherine Englander says employers will be learn able to manage situations better.
"It's very important to all employers and the takeaways are the ability to manage the situation when you are faced with it. At recent workshops that I ran on leadership, at every single workshop an employer approached me and said, 'I'm sure I've got an employee with a mental health problem and I don't know what to do,' so that's where these workshops came from. I'm a human resources professional, but I'm working with a psychotherapist to bring in what these things look like in the workplace and how to best work with that employee. So they're very important for any employer to ensure that it reduces absentees and it should improve profitability and productivity in the proper management of this type of issue."
Englander says she organizes these workshops to simply help people.
"At my core, I like to help people. My main goal right now is to help employers, but through helping employers manage other people's problems obviously I'm also helping the problems in the employee. So through running workshops like these we're reaching out to help people, which is exactly what we're doing."
The workshop will be held inside the boardroom at the Woodstock Small Business Centre. Tickets are $95.00 and registration can be found online here. They will also be hosting it in Strathroy, Tillsonburg and St.Thomas.
She adds if they get a larger crowd than anticipated, they will have to move to another venue in Woodstock.
The event will be on May 29th from 8:00 to 10:30am.
