Organisations are required by law to promote and protect the mental well-being of their workforce. A comprehensive Mental Health Policy, along with easy-to-understand operating procedures, will incorporate mental health issues into established organisational thinking. It will make sure everyone knows how the organisation views and deals with workplace mental health.

This course covers the steps that organisations should consider when developing and implementing a comprehensive workplace Mental Health Policy.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand what a Mental Health Policy in the Workplace is.
• Explain what the policy should include and who in the workplace should be included in its creation and implementation.
• Define how the policy will be implemented and how employees will understand the policy and how it applies to them.
• Recognise that the policy will need constant review to ensure that it will be effective for all employees.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is aimed at employers and employees responsible for developing and following a workplace mental health policy.

Using this course in Irish workplaces

This online course can support Irish employees, managers, supervisors and teams who need structured awareness of mental health, wellbeing or workplace support. It is useful for induction, refresher learning, documented training records or structured awareness before local instruction.

The course should be matched to the person's role, the organisation's policies, available support routes, escalation arrangements and the limits of the learner's responsibility.

Mental health and wellbeing training should support a healthier workplace culture, but it should not be used as a substitute for clinical advice, emergency support, HR procedures or competent professional input where those are needed.

The course content, module assessment requirements and certificate details are provided on this page so employers can review them before assigning the course to staff.

Where the topic relates to workplace policy, the course should be connected to the employer's own HR, dignity at work, absence, wellbeing and escalation procedures.
