Mental Health Awareness Training

Congress commits to developing and delivering training for af liates that will empower workplace representatives to better deal with mental health problems in the workplace. As a minimum this training will deliver signposting training for reps so that they can help individual members get the assistance they need. This training should assist workplace reps with the basic skills to deal effectively  and sympathetically with members who are experiencing dif culties. The position of workplace rep is becoming increasing stressful and we must protect the mental health of this army of volunteers. Courses should be developed which will help these reps to protect their own mental health.
