| Mental illness contributes to absenteeism, lost productivity, poor morale, poor work relationships and an increase in medical expenses, resulting in millions of dollars of losses for employers every year. Human Resources professionals are often thrown into the task of addressing these issues, either directly by dealing with disciplinary issues or indirectly by addressing policy changes. Jessica Heavin, Licensed Professional Counselor, will give a brief overview of Mental Health First Aid, a course designed to give any member of the public information on recognizing symptoms of mental illness and referring individuals to appropriate resources. This short presentation will introduce the basic concepts of the 8 hour course scheduled later this spring and how it can be implemented in HR settings. |
