Overcoming the barriers to mental health conversations

Mental health still carries a degree of stigma

Last week in the Coaching Café, we explored the important role that coaches can play in supporting mental health in the workplace while maintaining clear professional boundaries.

This week, we build on that conversation by turning our attention to one of the biggest challenges many leaders, managers and coaches experience—the hesitation to start a mental health conversation.

Despite growing awareness, mental health still carries a degree of stigma in many workplaces. We often worry about saying the wrong thing, making the situation worse, or stepping outside our role. Yet avoiding the conversation can mean missing an important opportunity to support someone who may be struggling.

As coaches, leaders and managers, we all have a role to play in breaking down the barriers that prevent these conversations from happening.

Join our leadership and coaching specialist Paula Jones-Hunt, PCC and Brigitte Calvert, MCC as we explore:

Whether you are coaching leaders, supporting colleagues, or simply wanting to build your confidence in responding to these situations, this webinar will provide practical guidance and coaching tools that can make a genuine difference.

Keeping connected

Whether you’re an experienced coach, a manager or leader who coaches, or an emerging practitioner, this session will help you stay informed, inspired, and connected to the wider profession.
