In the Workplace
The Stigma Stomp workplace workshop is a valuable tool for employers because it creates a sense of acceptance, understanding and empathy in the workplace. The presentation not only encourages the employer to think differently about how a mental illness can affect an employee, but understand workplace occurrences such as absenteeism.
Perhaps employees will also feel more comfortable disclosing their condition to their boss who would then be educated and empathetic around a person’s particular situation. The goal of the education behind the bipolar babe workplace workshop is to discuss stigma and get employees talking freely about the topic of mental illness; having stigma free conversations.
Facilitators offer workshops sessions taking the experience further into the subject of mental illness and its effects in the workplace. If you are interested in de-stigmatizing your work place please contact us. We would be thrilled to hear from you!
