Condensed from a half day retreat cultivating reflective conversation about mental health and substance use, this masterclass examines how stigma in the workplace setting negatively impacts us all.

This masterclass begins that process. Combining evidence-based information and current research findings, Catherine delivers a snapshot of where we are now and how personal reflections and subsequent conversations can start the necessary change process in your own places of work.

Given the complex challenges H.R. professionals face in moving through this pandemic, and the explicit increase in mental health and substance use challenges our co-workers are experiencing, this masterclass is currently being offered 100% discount.

We all reside on the continuum of mental health and substance use and it’s time to reduce stigma, learn language that supports and empowers those in need and drive attitudinal and behavioral change in our places of work and communities.

Module 1:
What is stigma and why do we need to reduce it?

Module 2:
What is stigmatizing language and how does it show up in the world of work?

Module 3:

Replacing stigmatizing language with Person First Language is a fundamental step in activating the values most companies say they espouse: respect, empathy, gratitude, innovation, inclusion, communication, trust, agility, inclusion, collaboration, and employee health and wellbeing.

Both employers and employees benefit from fostering a psychologically healthy and inclusive work environment.
