Team wellbeing program:

Mental health awareness

Worldwide, it is estimated that 25% of the population will have a mental health issue in any given year. Leaders are increasingly having to deal with the impact of such issues in the workplace. However, not all leaders feel well equipped either to understand or appropriately manage staff dealing with mental health issues.
