| Topics | This session will provide an overview of a new required training for all managers and supervisors at UBC. The Wellbeing Strategic Framework was called for in UBC’s Strategic Plan, and outlines our collective approach to embedding wellbeing into organizational plans, policies, practices, work plans and decision-making. In 2021, an initiative was identified as part of the UBC Wellbeing Mental Health & Resilience (MHR) Committee working group to develop and implement required workplace Mental Health Literacy (MHL) training to all supervisors (faculty and staff with managerial or supervisory duties) at UBC. This session will provide HR professionals within Faculty of Medicine an overview of how this training came about, the project implementation process that is currently underway and a snapshot of the content covered within the training. There will also be an opportunity for questions and discussion particularly related to supporting completion when the course launches in early 2023. Following this presentation, Lauren Lee, Workplace Wellbeing Associate, EFAP will provide a 20 minute presentation on key resources and services available to support workplace mental health at UBC Please RSVP via this link, by Monday, November 14, 2022 and indicate on the form if you have any specific questions or cases you would like to go through.
