SUMMARY:Does Mental Health Impact Business - Yes\, It Does! (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Free\, online webinar. \n\n\n\nDo you know someone who is experiencing a mental health challenge\, like anxiety or depression? Most of us do. In fact\, even pre-COVID-19 over 500\,000 Canadians were unable to work in any given week due to mental health issues. Costs to Canadian employers associated with workplace mental health are at an all-time high of $20 billion annually. Yet most organizations are at a loss as to what to do about this growing issue that has the potential for severe consequences – Including human rights complaints and litigation. \n\n\n\nHow do entrepreneurs maintain their own mental health and at the same time know what signs to look for that indicate a member of their team may be struggling? What resources are available to you or your team? \n\n\n\nPlease join Julie Holden\, as she discusses how sole practitioners and employers can tap into resiliency and understand when and how to seek help. \n\n\n\nIn this interactive session\, Julie will provide information on: \n\n\n\nHow mental health impacts businessesHow to identify challengesHow to access resources\n\n\n\nJulie will also discuss what a mentally healthy workplace looks like and talk about ways to achieve it as more employees seek ‘Employers of Choice’ who\, without exception\, have implemented various mental health initiatives in their organizations as a way to attract and retain top talent. \n\n\n\nLearn more about our presenter by downloading or viewing her bio below. \n\n\n\nJulie-Holden-BioDownload\n\n\n\nPlease Note: You will receive a video link for the session via email the day before the webinar. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to having you join us!
