Assisting Members with Mental Health Issues (Union) is a 3.5 to 4.0 hour workshop for union representatives and stewards.  It is a unique look at the role of the union in helping members through workplace conflict, accommodation, and disability.  It helps build recognition of the early signs of mental health problems, considers how to effectively encourage members to seek help, and discusses the workplace factors that can increase or decrease the likelihood of mental health problems.  If your members rely on you as an advocate and confidante in times of need, this workshop can help you to reduce your own discomfort or uncertainty in fulfilling this very important role.
