- Learn to use the Mental Health Continuum Tool to notice changes in mental health and well-being of yourself and others, and how to have conversations with others about mental health
Module 3 - Stress and Resilience
- Explore the impacts of stress on mental health, and practice applying the Big 4 Coping Strategies — simple but proven tools to deal with stress effectively and remain resilient
Module 4 - Supporting Your Team
