TICKETS AVAILABLE March 30, 2026!!
Workplace mental health is no longer a “nice to have”, it’s a leadership capability and an organizational imperative.
Join us for a highly interactive World Café-style professional development session focused on practical, people-first approaches to mental health and psychological wellbeing in today’s workplace.
Rather than a traditional lecture, this session creates space for meaningful conversation, shared learning, and real-world ideas you can use immediately, whether you’re an HR professional, people leader, or someone shaping culture and employee experience.
Who should attend:
- HR professionals and consultants
- People leaders and managers
- DEI/Wellbeing/People & Culture practitioners, as well as students in this field
- Anyone looking to strengthen workplace support, culture, and psychological wellbeing
Planned session outcomes:
- Practical strategies to strengthen psychological wellbeing in your organization (small actions and larger system shifts).
- A clearer view of what’s “in your control” as HR/leadership and what requires organizational alignment.
- Conversation frameworks and language for addressing mental health with empathy, confidence, and appropriate boundaries.
- Peer-informed ideas for prevention, early support, and sustainable workload/culture practices.
- A shortlist of next steps you can apply within 30 days, whether you’re building programs or improving everyday manager habits.
Format: World Café (interactive + high-engagement)
This session uses the World Café method, where participants start at a small table group, discuss a focused question, then rotate to new tables each round to build on ideas and perspectives. Each table appoints a table host who stays behind to welcome new participants and briefly summarize what was discussed before the next round begins. The process repeats for multiple rounds and closes with a whole-group reflection and share-back.
What that means for you: You’ll meet more people, hear diverse viewpoints, and co-create practical insights without the pressure of presenting or having “the right answer.”
