Good mental health for all - 'Keeping the mental health of your workforce in good shape, wherever they are working'
5th November, 9.30am - 10.30am

Hosted by Merseyside Mental Health Week partner, Knowsley Chamber of Commerce, this event with Imagine Independence's Mental Health First Aid team will take you through an understanding of mental health and how to spot the warning signs. With employees and colleagues working at distance, on a rota or even from home, the isolation, uncertainty and lack of human social interaction is impacting us all.

In this hour long workshop we will cram in as much as we can to help us to understand mental health and we will introduce tools for building a mentally healthy workforce.
