It’s not news. Mental health is impacting businesses of all sizes, at every level.
Sherry Campbell, MA, registered psychotherapist is doing something about it.
Her brand new Developing a Resilient Work Culture workshops bring the latest mental health education with resiliency tools and strategies to tackle the most pressing concerns in the workplace today.
“I’m so excited to help businesses go beyond education about mental health to practically build in resiliency practices,” Sherry says.
“More than ever, business owners and employees need practical and actionable steps to support the mental health of their workforce.”
“With so much uncertainty today, it is vital that every workplace and every person learn the right information about resilience and have ready-to-use practices to build it into everyday life, whether at home or work,” she says.
Resilience is good for business
Employee resilience is a key factor in recovery from today’s challenges.
“Resilient employees make resilient organizations. People who are supported, motivated and equipped are best positioned to overcome obstacles and distractions.”
As a therapist and the owner of Sherry Campbell Group practice in Niagara, Ontario, Sherry and her team have been on the front lines of helping individuals, couples and families through mental health challenges. Burnout, stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma are impacting many people and subsequently, affecting the workplace. The necessity for businesses of all sizes to engage with employee mental health and wellness is growing.
“Improved employee engagement, productivity, creativity, emotional regulation, problem solving skills, loyalty, and morale. There are higher levels of positive relationships and increased team work with less negativity, absenteeism and presenteeism, and internal and external office complaints,” Sherry says.
Workshops are practical
Sherry points out the need to go beyond mental health education to building resilience into the workplace culture. Time for emotional and relational skill-building are important parts of every workshop.
“Resilience is the key to managing overwhelm at work and at home,” she says. “Building resiliency skills yields multiple positive and measurable results.”
“I have people asking all the time for skills and actionable steps,” she explains. “They want to know what to do and how to do it.”
“I provide lots of time to practice tools to build self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, active listening, and mindfulness. Participants will leave with tools to use right now.”
Personal topics are covered
The workshops The Balancing Act and Building Resiliency in Children and Adolescents cover topics relevant to employees’ personal lives.
“The idea that employees leave their personal lives at the door is changing,” Sherry says. “When employees know they can count on management to actively provide opportunities for learning and growth on issues like parenting and caregiving, company loyalty and productivity grows.”
“Employees need to feel understood and supported by their employers and leadership,” she says. “It’s been proven that supported employees lead to positive effects on the business.”
Emotional support for management
Sherry recognizes that emotional support for management is frequently overlooked.
“Management and leadership is isolating. I wanted to provide a separate space for this group to receive the information, support and skills they need,” Sherry says.
The workshops Resilience and Mental Health for Management and Preventing and Overcoming Burnout as a Leader teaches specific mental health topics and resiliency strategies specific to burnout recovery and prevention for management.
Flexibility is key to workplace health
Resiliency is about building the flexibility individuals and workplaces need.
“It is imperative that workplaces be adaptable, flexible and capable of navigating ongoing stress and change.”
“Workplaces need to be places where employees and employers can learn, grow and support one another no matter what is going on.”
In every workshop, there is hope.
“Every single one of us is capable of learning and strengthening resiliency skills,” Sherry says. “Even when there seems to be no way out, there is always a way through.”
