A practical course for teams and staff who wish to gain a better understanding of mental health in the workplace, recognise their own warning signs of stress at an earlier stage, and deal constructively with challenging situations. The focus is on self-awareness, psychological safety, healthy work habits and practical strategies for strengthening inner stability. The course is preventative and development-oriented in nature and is not a substitute for medical or therapeutic advice.
You will develop a better understanding of mental health, signs of stress and personal resources. You will learn to recognise warning signs in yourself and within your team in a sensitive manner, to have helpful conversations and to establish healthy routines in your day-to-day work. By the end of the course, you will be able to assess mental strain more consciously, communicate your own boundaries more clearly and actively contribute to a supportive working environment.
