It was a great couple of days sharing Mental Health First Aid at Work as part of a pilot program for a large organization realizing the need for mental health awareness within the workplace and acting on it. The bonus for me as the facilitator was that the event was in Pittsburgh, PA. If you have not made it to Pittsburgh, may I suggest it as a beautiful city to add to your list of places to visit.
This was a great event but was one of my more challenging trainings due to the host and Team bringing mental health considerations to an organization and profession that are newer to this way of thinking and acting on.
I always consider it an honor to be the facilitator for pilot programs as it shows the National Council for Mental Wellbeing confidence that we will provide a meaningful and valuable experience. Our partner's Team members discussions helped to tailor the content to the group, which will result in earlier than previous identification and approach for Team members needing support.
Be well!
