FAQ

Ask simple, open and non-judgmental questions and let people explain in their own words how their mental health problem manifests, the triggers, how it impacts on their work and what support they need.

Despite the fact that both EAP and traditional counselling are designed to assist individuals in addressing mental health and personal challenges, there are significant differences between the two in terms of accessibility, the scope of services offered, the policies regarding confidentiality, the relationships between ...

Be clear and concise, stating the specifics of how your mental health problems are impacting your work. The point here is to keep it professional and appropriate--your boss is not a therapist or close friend, so you need to stick to what matter's to the workplace.

Some mental health issues are more commonly solved through an EAP, including stress management, burnout, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, workplace stress and other work-related issues.

The two-pronged approach to take when your boss may be experiencing mental health issues is to 1) find strategies that reduce the stress their illness causes for you; 2) do what you can to encourage your boss to seek wellness. Finally, if none of these work, my advice to you is to take care of your own mental health.

For this reason it's vital you have a meaningful conversation with your employee about their needs and really listen to them. Be positive – focus on what employees can do, rather than what they can't. Work together and involve people in finding solutions as much as possible.

These are the key things you should be considering when managing employees with mental health issues: Be clear on your obligations. Take proactive steps. Know the signs and triggers. Keep communication open. Follow a robust performance management process.

If you find you are not able to work due to a mental health condition, short- or long-term, connect with a social service provider that can address your needs. Having a fulfilling job that you are able to perform can do wonders to improve mental health.
