Cornwall, Ontario – The Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre is pleased to partner with The Employability Network for the upcoming Employer Workshop Series, Mind Matters, focusing of mental health for business owners and their staff.
The first in that series is a panel discussion on prioritizing mental health in the workplace. This free event is happening on Tuesday January 23rd in Salon B at the Cornwall Civic Complex from 7am to 9am. A buffet breakfast will be provided. This will be an excellent opportunity for leadership to gain valuable insight into workplace mental health and how it can impact workplace culture, productivity and attendance.
Facilitated by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), The Talking About Mental Illness (TAMI) Testimonial presentation is an opportunity for employers to hear a short testimony of persons living with mental health challenges. The testimony is offered as a general awareness session to allow participants to learn about mental health/illness in an engaging and interactive presentation. Live testimonials on various disorders are presented with an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions in order to break down the stigma.
The TAMI Panel will include four guest speakers coached and trained by CMHA to deliver an impactful testimony of lived experience with a strong focus on hope and recovery. Testimonials will be focused on the impact of Mental Health in the Workplace as a lead up to the Bell Let’s TALK Day January 24th. Bell Let’s Talk funds Canadian mental health initiatives and organizations all year long that are creating positive change in their communities each and every day.
