Special Announcement! New Program Launch: Mental Health at Work Conversational Literacy? Certificate - for Leaders

For #WorldMentalHealthDay I’m doing things differently.

I usually tell everyone why it’s important to talk about #MentalHealthAtWork (and you should!). This year, I have a BIG announcement about the new Melissa Doman LLC program that’ll help LEADERS do that - and really well.?

Drumroll, please… ??????????

…I give you the Mental Health at Work Conversational Literacy? Certificate Program - for Leaders!!!?

This is an in-house, immersive 5-day training program designed to help leaders confidently talk about mental health at work. For themselves (yes, YOU need to be able to talk about YOUR #MentalHealth too), support their leadership colleagues, and their teams too. This course provides leaders with the in-depth education and essential tools they actually need to add to their leadership conversational literacy toolkit.

?? Every business should either have or be looking for a leadership training program that teaches leaders how to talk about mental health at work. Whether you’re an HR professional looking to provide a training program for your leaders, or you’re a leader who knows that you and your peers need to learn these indispensable skills - we’ve got you covered.

What Inspired the Creation of This Course?

Honestly?

Thousands of leaders telling me they know that mental health at work is important, but need the education and training to learn how to talk about it.

So that’s what we did. How?

So, we built this course using inspiration from 15 years' worth of my work, including my:

?? Training, fieldwork, and research

?? Workshops, keynotes, team-building sessions, fireside interviews, panels, and interviews

?? Strategic advising and consulting outcomes

?? LinkedIn Learning courses

?? The playbook on how to talk about mental health at work: Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health At Work: (Here’s Why and How to Do it Really Well)

This Course Teaches Leaders 3 Critical Skills for How To Talk About Mental Health at Work:

• How leaders can talk to their teams
• How leaders can support their leadership peers
• How leaders can talk about their own mental health

Why Do We Need to Upskill Leaders To Talk About Mental Health At Work?

Knowing how to talk about mental health at work is a critical leadership skill.

Learning how to talk about mental health at work is a language we all need to know how to speak. Leaders need to know how to speak this language even more because of their influence in the workplace. For their teams, colleagues, and themselves too.

So, welcome to the only workplace mental health leadership program that doesn’t avoid the tough topics that leaders need to know to get those conversations right!

What Will Leaders Learn in This Course?

Learning how to talk about mental health at work, and get it right, takes focused effort and time. That’s why we created this course as a 4-5 full-day certificate program. Leaders who invest the time and energy to develop these crucial skills will earn this first-of-its-kind credential for Mental Health at Work Conversational Literacy?.

How will this course teach leaders to do that? Through 6 interactive learning modules that will help them with:

• Mastering the Why
• Mastering the How
• Mastering Critical Perspectives

In our interactive course, leaders within your organization will learn alongside each other and dive into 6 dynamic modules designed to help them learn how to:

1. Understand mental health, stress, and mental illness (especially at work)
2. Address potential ‘roadblocks’ that prevent conversations about mental health at work (from inside and outside of work)
3. Talk about your mental health as a leader (yes, it’s important, despite popular opinion!)
4. Support fellow leaders’ mental health at work (because if anyone can understand the leadership struggle, it’s other leaders)
5. Talk to your team about mental health at work (receiving and starting conversations, and creating an open culture of mental health)
6. Apply critical lessons from Societal Change & World of Work (with mental health in mind)
