In their lecture, Dr Eva Elisa Schneider and Nora Dietrich dived into the topic of mental health in organizations. After an introduction to the various dimensions of prevention, they used examples from the corporate world to explain the dos and don’ts of mental health in the workplace.
For the two psychotherapists and mental health experts, the do’s and don’ts include bundling individual services within the company, ensuring good visibility and support from management. People should not be afraid of being stigmatised. It is also important to recruit mental health ambassadors among employees who can draw colleagues’ attention to relevant services. The two experts placed particular emphasis on situational prevention measures. These are essential to complement behavioural prevention activities.
