This course will explore the steward’s role in supporting and representing members around mental health and mental illness. Learn what to do about stigma and how to approach a conversation with a member about a possible mental health issue.

Also, we will look at new forms of work, job security, work intensification, high demands, violence and a resulting poor work-life balance resulting in psychosocial and mental health problems in CUPE workplaces.

This course focuses on the workplace as the cause of mental health issues, and not the individual.

In response to the health concerns of our members and staff, CUPE has implemented a Scent-Free Policy at all of our workshops. Scented products such as hair spray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as respiratory distress and headaches. Facilitators and participants are asked to refrain from using scented products while attending our workshops and meetings. Thank you for your cooperation.
