From Stigma to Support
Equipping Your Managers and Teams to Have Confident Wellbeing Conversations
In every workplace, people experience periods of stress. But when stress becomes prolonged and begins to impact mental health, many employees suffer in silence because they don't know how to ask for help—and managers often lack the confidence to start the conversation.
From Stigma to Support is a practical, interactive two-hour workshop designed to help managers and teams recognise when someone may be struggling and respond with confidence, empathy and compassion.
Inspired by Beverley's own experience of burnout, the workshop provides the knowledge, language and practical tools to help create a workplace culture where people feel safe to speak up and supported when they do.
