Leaders' and Managers' Mental Health and Stress Toolkit
The 91传媒 is committed to creating a positive work environment that promotes mental wellbeing, allowing colleagues to thrive at work and fulfil their potential. Each and every member of staff has a role to play in this. As a line-manager, your responsibilities are outlined in the University’s Managing Mental Health and Stress Standard.
This evidence-based toolkit is designed to help you in your line-manager role to proactively support the mental wellbeing of your team and respond to mental health difficulties experienced by individuals.
Complementing this toolkit, an online training module is available called Supporting the Mental Wellbeing of your Team, which is highly recommended for all those with line management or other leadership responsibilities (i.e. all at band G or above).
