The Wellbeing Line has announced dates for their new free pilot course entitled ‘Leading with Compassion: Let’s Talk about Mental Health’.
This course is for senior managers with line management responsibilities and will enable participants to learn about how to look after their own mental health, as well as the mental health of their team.
Course overview
The course will focus on:
- understanding mental health and what factors might impact our mental health
- developing our knowledge, skills and confidence to enable better conversations about mental health
- thinking about team culture and creating supportive and reflective environments which enable and normalise conversations about mental health
- learning how to recognise when we or others might be struggling with our mental health
- bringing awareness to our own responses to that we can be more present and lead with compassion.
- sharing knowledge about what support options are available locally, nationally and online
The training is provided virtually on MS Teams, delivered in three sessions over three half days (9 hours) on the following dates:
- Session 1: Thursday 11th April (10am - 1pm)
- Session 2: Thursday 18th April (10am - 1pm)
- Session 3: Thursday 25th April (10am - 1pm)
Participants are encouraged to attend all three sessions, as each session builds on the previous and supports your development along the way.
Course follow up
After the initial three sessions, four facilitated Peer Connecting sessions will be offered to you as a group and will also be provided on MS Teams (4 hours). This is an opportunity for group members to come together to share ideas, concerns, learnings, and to reflect on embedding some of the practices discussed in the training. After this, there will be the opportunity to join ‘drop-in’ Peer Connecting sessions, which are currently held monthly.
