Course Summary:

There are a variety of factors that can impair an employee’s performance, and being concerned about a co-worker’s psychical and mental health outside of the workplace is a common behaviour.

The material discussed in this course provides participants with the necessary skills to recognize and act upon suspicions of drug and alcohol usage, fatigue or anxiety, or poor mental health in a constructive, mutually-beneficial manner.
