Blurring the Lines: Integrating Mental Health as an EHS Professional
With the pandemic approaching its eighth month, social and political unrest in the US reaching heights unseen since the 1960s, and the subsequent economic downturn, environmental, health and safety professionals have a unique opportunity to integrate mental health into their existing safety program and systems.
In this presentation we will highlight:
- The concepts of mental health, mental illness and psychosocial risks.
- Risk factors to mental illness and signs and symptoms within the context of the workplace.
- Useful elements in building a psychologically safe workplace.
