Why need for mental health and wellbeing programs

We are all well-versed with the physical benefits of a structured exercise program. We all are aware of the benefits of having stronger muscles, joints and bones, balanced body weight control, immunity from disease and then slowing down the aging process.  When it comes to mental health and wellbeing, the brain happens to be the central processing unit of our body system and it processes and governs almost all our physical and mental activities. To keep our brain fit, there have been prescribed some mental health and wellbeing programs. If you’re a working professional and finding it difficult to concentrate, these programs would be very helpful.

Mental Health and Wellbeing Programs

• Mental Health Training for Supervisors

We often take our mental and emotional health for granted and most of us have the misconception that the mental well-being is not in our hands. But that is not true. Good mental health is closely linked to good physical health. The supervisors always hold the key to any organization because they shoulder the responsibility of working at the grass-root level workers. They plan things and execute them through these workers. That put them under constant pressure to perform.

• In view of that, the specialists of these programs have propounded specific mental health training for supervisors. The research shows that mental illness is a bigger disease and burden than that of all cancers put together and by 2020, this will be the biggest cause of death and disability in the world. The benefits include:

1. Knowing the impact of stigma that surrounds mental health at the workplace
2. Greater awareness about the mental stress impacting overall growth at the workplace
3. Recognizing and exploring some of the possible indicators of diminished mental wellbeing/emerging mental ill-health.
