Coffee with Carolynn: How to Conquer Life Invaded by Mental Illness

Mental illness can affect anyone during different stages of their lives, whether it's direct or indirect through family, friends, or coworkers.

In the United States, research indicates that nearly one in five adults live with a mental illness. More alarmingly, only half of these people are actually willing to treat their mental illness, with the rest going untreated because of the stigma attached to society around mental health.

With concerns about mental health continually rising in the US, it’s important we strive to educate, fight the stigma, and inspire communities to have open conversations - because doing so can save lives. We need to bring a positive change in society to fight the stigma related to mental illness and health problems.

This is what Mental Illness Awareness Week 2020 (4-10th October) is all about. It aims to encourage people so that they can come forward and talk about their mental health problems without any hesitation. It also helps to break the stigma that stops people to ask for help.

In this webinar, learn with Carolynn Morris, Senior HR Consultant at Go1, and Sammy Rowlette, Holistic Wellness Coach, about how to deal with emotions creatively and how to employ our intelligence in a beneficial way. They also discuss helpful strategies to increase self-awareness, self-management, and social awareness.

This webinar aims to increase participants' awareness and understanding of mental health issues, as well as protective factors that can be used in the workplace. Watch the recording below:
