NSTSA is pleased to announce we are introducing a new training program for the trucking industry. The training program is based on the Mental Health Continuum Model on which The Working Mind program is centered. The Working Mind is an education-based program designed to address and promote mental health and reduce the stigma of mental illness in a workplace setting. NSTSA will be offering this program starting in the fall of 2017.
NSTSA offers The Working Mind program in two formats:
For managers & supervisors (full day workshop)
For workers (half day workshop)
It is an evidence-based program designed to:
Reduce the stigma of mental illness
Increase awareness of mental health
Offer resources to maintain positive mental health and increase resiliency
The overarching goals of the program are to support the mental health and well-being of employees. To enable the full productivity of employees and ensure the workplace is respectful and inclusive of all employees including those with mental health problems and mental illnesses.
