In May, LifeSolutions promotes Mental Health Awareness Month with a live webinar, Beyond Blue: Understanding Mental Illness.

Did you know that 1 in 4 Americans will experience a mental illness in their lifetime, whether it’s depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or another condition? Most of the episodes will occur during their working life.

As such, it’s imperative for workers to know the risks and signs of various mental illnesses, as well as coping strategies and pathways to support.

In this workshop, we will discuss:
- The most common mental illnesses and their signs/symptoms.
- Specific features of depression and anxiety.
- The stigma of mental illness.
- The impact of undiagnosed and untreated mental illness on the workplace.
- How to access support and treatment.
