The Educator

bridging the gap from uncertainty to understanding

The Problem. The Impact. The Solution.

To create lasting change, we must first understand what’s happening in your
workforce — and why it matters so much to address it now.

WHAT

The Educator is our foundational package, tailored to meet your unique training needs.

Mental health at work has become a flashpoint over the past several years.  Between remote working, integrating work and home life, the uncertainty of our world + still meeting the needs of clients, it can feel truly paralyzing.  You know your team needs support and that mental health is a vital part of the conversation, but you don’t know where to start.  Urban Wellness® is here to be your guide. 

The workplace is an optimal setting to create a culture of mental health.  While 1:5 people will have a mental health challenge at any given time, 5:5 people have mental health. It’s time to bring mental health into the conversation at work.  Some of the top strategies recommended by the CDC include hosting seminars and workshops and providing managers with training to help them recognize the signs and symptoms of stress and depression in team members.

WHY

Because a good leader needs to…
  • Understand depression, anxiety, burnout and stigma, and learn practical stress management techniques to reduce distress and improve wellbeing.
  • Cultivate skills for leadership in recognizing the signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression in team members and how to respond.
  • Incorporate mindfulness and breathing practices to boost team morale and performance.
  • Identify and implement key strategies to build trust and resilience within teams.
  • Develop and maintain a culture of connection in a time when social and racial injustice, COVID-19 and overwhelming feelings of uncertainty are pervasive.

HOW

Our approach is collaborative.

We listen to key stakeholders to gain an understanding of your strengths, challenges and goals when it comes to mental health education and training. Are you trying to build a culture of openness and vulnerability? Do you need to equip managers with skills to support their teams? Are you looking for a way to reduce stigma and increase understanding of mental health in the workplace?

We deliver a la carte expert content on topics that are relevant and crucial to well-being at work. We choose topics that resonate with the challenges and assets of your workplace.
