Managing stress and mental health session

Mental health related absences can be a challenge due to their frequency and duration, so for 2026 we have a new PAM Wellness mental health and stress management session for managers.

The latest training session aims to equip managers with confidence, knowledge and practical skills.

Delivered by PAM Wellness, the session is designed to support managers in understanding and promoting mental health and wellbeing within the workplace, and will cover the following:

• common workplace mental health conditions
• key symptoms and contributing factors
• practical strategies to promote wellbeing and support employees
• guidance on confident, compassionate conversations
• creating healthier and supportive working environments

The session will be held on Microsoft Teams on Thursday 5 March from 1pm to 2.30pm. You can book your place online.

North Ayrshire Council is committed to ongoing improvement in supporting both managers and employees and our goal is to foster a supportive environment, reduce stigma associated with mental health conditions, and ensure our employees feel heard and supported when they need it most.

Bookings for further ‘How to’ sessions can be made on the Events Booking page on Connects.
