New date and location for OIB Workshop: Establishing and Maintaining Mentally Healthy Workplace Environments

Inclusion and Belonging, Office of Tuesday November 12, 2024

The Office of Inclusion & Belonging will present "Establishing and Maintaining Mentally Healthy Workplace Environments" on Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Russell Library Conference Room 302. Dr. Steve Wilson, director of Georgia College & State University's Counselling Services, will facilitate.

It's been four years since the global pandemic. The workplace continues to adapt to the new normal of work; however, this new normal has seen an increase in stress and anxiety. Even before the pandemic, one in five adults struggled with mental health issues-and that number is only rising. When workers struggle with mental health conditions, the signs are not always apparent, and even when a condition is disclosed, there may be a stigma attached.

In this workshop, participants will learn:

• The signs and impact of mental health distress in the workplace.
• The benefits of talking about and improving mental health at work.
• How managers and supervisors can support employees' mental health.
• How to work with others to make your workplace more mentally healthy for everyone.
• Ways to reach out and support a colleague in distress.

Please register to attend this workshop. If you have any questions, contact Jennifer Birch, Education Outreach & Training coordinator, at 478-445-7441 or [email protected].
