Understand Mental Health at Work

Learn what mental health really means in a workplace context — and why it's now a manager's responsibility, not just HR's.

Spot the warning signs early

Recognize the behavioral and performance signals that indicate stress, burnout, or a mental health crisis — before it escalates.

Respond with confidence and compliance

Know exactly what to say, what not to say, and how to connect employees to help — without crossing legal or ethical lines.

About the Course

Mental health issues don't announce themselves. They show up as missed deadlines, team friction, absenteeism, or an employee who's just "off" — and most managers have no idea what to do next. This course gives you a practical, OSHA-aligned framework for handling mental health in the workplace — without overstepping, without legal exposure, and without feeling like a therapist. You'll learn to recognize the warning signs, navigate difficult conversations, and connect employees to the right resources. Built for small business managers and supervisors who don't have an HR department to call. What's included: Participant manual, knowledge assessment, manager quick reference card, workplace mental health policy template, and a resource list — plus a certificate of completion.
