Mental Health for Managers Training - (CALE) - University of Tasmania

Understanding and managing workplace psychosocial risks to MENTAL HEALTH IN THE UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT. This workshop is designed to assist managers to understand actions employers can take that may reduce the risk of mental illness onset or exacerbation that can occur as a result of employee exposure to chronic or acute work stressors. Participants will be presented with research evidence related to work stress and mental health and develop an understanding of job design and work environment factors that are likely to be included in psychosocial risk assessments. Activities will focus on reviewing psychosocial risk assessment tools and guidelines, what might constitute 'reasonable steps to assess and control' these risks, and discuss change management strategies for improving how the University approaches this important occupational health and safety task.
