Speaker: Abby Medcalf, PhD, Author


Description: 

Our workplaces play a significant role in our lives. Work affects our physical and mental well-being in healthy and unhealthy ways. This one-and-a-half-hour course provides participants with a discussion on the extent of the problem of mental health and well-being at work. The U.S. Surgeon General’s guidelines will be used as well as SAMHSA’s Eight Dimensions of Wellness to outline the problem and specific tools for what can be done to help professionals and their clients be healthier at work.


Outline: 

Current statistics concerning mental health and well-being in the workplace

  • 76% of workers reported at least one symptom of a mental health condition
  • 84% said their workplace conditions have contributed to at least one mental health challenge
  • 81% of workers said they'd be looking for workplaces that supported their mental health in the future


The Five Attributes of a toxic work environment

  • Disrespectful
  • Non-inclusive
  • Unethical
  • Cutthroat
  • Abusive


SAMHA's Eight Dimensions of Well-Being

  • Emotional
  • Spiritual
  • Intellectual
  • Physical
