To mark Mental Illness Awareness Week PIPSC teamed up with the Canadian Mental Health Association for a workshop on mental illness in the workplace. Unlike mental health, mental illnesses are diagnosed conditions that affect the way we think about ourselves, relate to others, and interact with the world around us. Host, Alexandra Petrisano, BASc, PGCert, will provides training on many topics, including:
- Overview of common mental illnesses
- How mental illness impacts employees
- Supporting colleagues and teammates
- How to respond with compassion and empathy
