Description

Learning Forum on mental health challenges and stigma in the workplace aims to raise awareness and understanding of the impact of stigma on individuals with mental health conditions. Participants will learn about common misconceptions surrounding mental health challenges, explore the negative effects of stigma on individuals and the workplace, and discuss strategies to create a supportive and inclusive work environment. 

Structure

In contrast to small-group workshop-style learning with standardized content, Learning Forum sessions offer: 

  • 60-minute expert-led virtual sessions that can be delivered to large group audiences 
  • Flexible format designed to highlight presenter expertise while also customized to client context and areas of interest 
  • Combination of information and personal experience and insights: to inspire and plant seeds for further learning 
  • Ideal for introducing particular topics and/or commemorating important days in the annual calendar 

Objectives

This session will explore the following themes and help build a better understanding of: 

  • What does a stigma free workplace look like?  
  • What are the different kinds of stigmas and how do they impact individuals, families, communities, and workplaces? 
  • How can workplaces create a stigma free environment for individuals with mental health conditions?  
  • What are subtle examples of stigma that typically go unrecognized in our everyday life?
