Free course about mental health and keeping well at work

About the course

Would you like to know more about how mental wellbeing can influence and enhance your employment experiences? Over two sessions you will learn ways to move towards employment, a practical understanding of your rights when sharing personal information and how self-management strategies support mental health throughout the employment process, both pre- and post-employment.

Learning objectives

To understand how employment supports personal recovery and mental wellbeing and the practical steps you can take to move towards employment
To explore how and when we might share personal information, understanding the pros and cons of disclosure
To be aware of support and tools available when in employment and where to find information, advice and guidance

This course takes place over six hours in two sessions.

I learned the importance of having and standing by my personal and work values.

I think the stress management techniques and tips for what to do before you start looking will be beneficial for all.

It was interesting to co-produce a course that looks at employment from the perspective of those who find it difficult to motivate themselves or who lack the self-esteem to look for work.
