One of the most important tasks for an employer is to make the work place a positive and constructive place
to work for any employee who has a mental health or illness. An employee`s performance, reliability and
commitment will improve if their mental health and wellbeing is in a positive state.
Mental Health Management is aimed at managers that will have to work with staff that are suffering from a
mental health illness or issue. Being caring and understanding are the most important qualities to have.
However, a business stills needs to be able to run efficiently and other members of staff will have work in an
environment with a staff member that may need to be treated or have consideration due to their illness or
problem. Making decisions for the good of your business instead of your staff can be a very hard task to
manage. This course will show how management should deal with mental health situations in the workplace
and create a safe space.
