Moreover, mental health distress is a likely concern in any workplace environment due to common stresses of workload, workplace culture, individual factors, and interpersonal conflict.
Nexus Psychology can facilitate consults with organisational psychologists who provide managers with a mental health awareness framework that enhances robustness and resilience in the workplace, and that emphasises factors of coping and wellbeing that may be cultivated by individuals and engendered on an organisational level.
In addition, organisational psychologists can:
- Help organisations to develop an understanding of mental illness including recognition of signs and symptoms, strategies for managing and supporting staff with mental health issues and ways to build and maintain a safe work environment, one that will not create or exacerbate mental health problems and where workers with mental issues are properly supported.
- Help provide organisations with current and relevant information on mental wellbeing and mental illness, as well as a pragmatic focus for dealing with challenges that arise in the workplace.
The approach and objective is to provide the necessary knowledge and practical skills for participants to identify factors relating to Mental Health issues and general wellbeing and stress in the workplace, and to determine and implement appropriate strategies including taking early preventative and supportive action.
