Mental health issues are often misunderstood and stigmatized and are growing at a faster rate than any other kind of disability in today’s workplace (Canadian Mental Health Association). To prevent misconceptions of mental health issues, employees need to understand what the common mental health issues are. This workshop will not only educate participants about common mental health issues, it will also equip them with the tools to manage these issues and will examine available resources.

Learning Outcomes:  

1. Explain why mental health issues are increasingly relevant to the Ontario public library environment
2. Identify a process for helping someone who may be exhibiting symptoms.
