Gulf Coast Chapter, North Section: June Meeting

ASSP Gulf Coast Chapter – North Section Meeting, Thursday, June 18^th
Sam Houston State University, The Woodland Center, Rm TBD
3380 College Park Drive, Conroe, Texas, 77384

TOPIC: Mental Health at Work

SYNOPSIS:

May was Mental Health Month and June is Men’s Mental Health Month.  What is the safety and health professional’s role in dealing with mental health issues in the workplace?  We are not expected to be therapists; we are asked to Recognize, Respond, and Refer.

This whole presentation comes down to three words: Notice, Listen, Connect. Managers don’t need clinical training to make a real difference.  They need to spot baseline changes, open the door with care, refuse to promise secrecy over safety, and route people to help that already exists.
