Mental Health: Positive Work Culture is VitalCPSU/CSA
Alison Xamon of Western Australian Association for Mental Health presented a session on workplace mental health at the May Go Green @ Work network meeting.
Physical or psychological disorder associated with an occupational environment and manifested in symptoms such as extreme anxiety, or tension, or cramps, headaches, or digestion problems.
Stress related to responsibilities associated with work, corporate culture or personality conflicts
Can lead to physical as well as emotional disorders
May cause depression if left unattended
Each month I present to the City of Cape Town offices. The topic is Stress & Burnout. Most of us struggle with this on some level during our lives and this presentation calls it for what it is, as well as giving ways to reduce the impact of stress. www.time2beme.co.za.
New research from the Deloitte Centre for Health Solutions places workplace mental health and wellbeing at a tipping point, with employers increasingly reviewing their activities in supporting employee mental health and wellbeing.
Mental Health Awareness is a theory course giving an all round awareness of mental health and attributed conditions. The course is suitable for people working within the health and social care sector and will cover conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and personality disorder.
This course is essential for those working within mental health. A shorter version of this
course is available to those previously trained or experienced within the sector.

According to Mind, 1:4 of people in the UK will encounter a mental health problem in the UK, each year. Although awareness of mental health as a physical illness is starting to increase, many organisations are still unaware of the impact such illnesses can have on the individual, and the devastating effect poor management practices can have on colleagues in certain situations. Such ignorance is concerning – in far too many cases, anxiety, depression and other conditions are treated with ‘lip service’ at best; or as taboo at worst. This session will try and tackle some of the main, down-to-earth matters surrounding mental health in Higher Education Institutions. Sometimes, performance is affected, and this can have a serious adverse effect on the morale and performance of a team or department at large. How straightforward is it to identify and help people who might be struggling? How is it best to tackle poor performance while, at the same time, help an individual or individuals cope with mental health difficulties? Should HEIs introduce transparent strategic mental health awareness policies at the very top? How would one do that? How might it be possible to change an institutional or departmental climate for the better, with other positive knock-on effects this could have on welfare, happiness and performance? How would it be possible to transform understanding and practice at a local and institutional level? Following a brief presentation, this session will be an open forum for the sharing of experiences, suggestions and best practice.
The session will be a fully interactive improvisation workshop in which delegates will be invited to engage in fun and stimulating exercises designed to improve their communication, teamwork and break through any barriers holding them back. The exercises can be categorised as follows: Resilience: By learning to embrace failure, participants will learn how to take something with negative connotations as an opportunity for learning and growth. In the current climate where huge demands are placed on administrators, conquering the fear of failure and being able to reframe a ‘failure’ as a learning opportunity is key.
Embracing change: Exercises designed to nudge participants out of their comfort zones will help them to see that change is an inevitable and necessary part of growth. They will learn that they have talent in areas that they may never have previously considered.
Public speaking: Through involvement in storytelling exercises, participants will build their confidence in public speaking and presentation through creative play. These exercises will give them tips and tricks that they can take away with them and apply to future presentations.
Teamwork: These exercises will help participants to communicate more clearly and freely within a team and can be used for teambuilding and away days after the conference.

Implementing the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the...healthycampuses
This session was a Pre-Summit Workshop at the 2016 Healthy Minds | Healthy Campuses Summit in Vancouver, BC. Participants were introduced to the National Standard and the 13 factors specifically within the unique context of post-secondary education.
Prioritizing mental health in the workplace is not only the right thing to do; it is also beneficial for businesses. By creating a supportive work environment, implementing mental health policies, promoting work-life balance, and providing supportive resources, organizations can nurture a mentally healthy workforce. Investing in employees' mental well-being leads to increased productivity, improved job satisfaction, and reduced turnover rates. Let us work together to create workplaces that prioritize mental health and well-being for a brighter and more prosperous future.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

2. SCOPE:
Wellbeing, mental health, mental ill
health?
What might we notice? Do?
Legislation, responsibilities, and best
practice?
Tools and practices that can support
mental wellbeing in the workplace
Creating a positive workplace culture
3. What is Wellbeing?
Wellbeing is more than the absence of
mental ill health. It includes feeling valued,
having security, positive relationships, work-
life balance, and interests. Measured as a
sense of fulfilment and control in our lives.
There is a connection between work and
wellbeing.
4. Mental ill Health
Feelings, experiences, behaviour,
changes to extremes
Physical signs: sleep appetite, energy
levels
Frequency, intensity, duration
Distress and dysfunction
6. A Mentally Healthy Workplace:
> Managers have excellent people skills
> Staff feel valued and involved
> Attendance culture promoted
> Flexible, well designed jobs
> Common health problems managed
> Promotion of open culture which staff
feel able to discuss their problems
9. Employers Can Ask About Your Health:
1. Health Questionaires
after job offer made
2. Forms that are
anonymous and seperate
from the job application
3. Returning to work after
absence
4. Health/safety r/vs
connected to your duties
10. When Are Employers NOT Allowed to Ask?
> On job applications
(unless the role has
fitness to practise
criteria e.g armed
forces/police officer
> At interview - can
discuss health, but
not ask direct
questions
> In public places -
like a lunchroom, or
doorway to office
> In staff meetings
> At a social work
function
11. What Might We Notice?
Feelings, thoughts,
behaviour, different
than usual, eg.
tearful, more
stressed than
usual, quite,
withdrawn, usually
talkative
Being late, or
staying back late
Physical changes
due to over/under
eating
Skin breakouts
Rashes/hives
Dark circles under
eyes
An increase in
unexplained absences
or sick leave
Poor performance
Poor time keeping
Poor decision-making
No energy
No communication or
different
communication
12. What Might We Do?
Manage mental health issues the same as physical issues,
support/RTW policy
> TALK - Offer to listen (ask yourself - are they usually ok?
Would they usually come to you with any problems?
> Awareness of the issue - education Understanding -
empathy
> Rapport - best help to identify triggers
> Determine if it is a disability - but not there to CURE,
only to help manage their own condition
13. Approaching People At Work
Private space
confidentiality/boundaries
Say what you see, be specific
Ask open ended questions
Explore their needs
Offer suggestions
Regular contact, review any
adjustments
18. Best Practice:
> Great progress for health & safety - which needs to
extend to wellbeing at work
> ‘Good work’ that is safe and offers some influence and
sense of self worth exceeds risks of unemployment
> The myth that you must be 100% fit to be able to work,
and that it impedes recovery
> Employers are in a position to positively influence health
by using early intervention and addressing stigma
> Increased awareness of wellbeing and mental il health
contributes to better productivity for all
22. Indirect discrimination
> Minimum height
requirements for a job
where height is not
relevant to be able to
perform the role - this
would be discriminatory
to many females as they
are generally shorter
than males
23. Harassment
> Belittling or threatening
behaviour directed to an
individual or group
> Derogatory jokes, racial
slurs, personal insults,
expressions of disgust or
intolerance
> Abuse may include
mocking accents,
intimidation, or displaying
discriminatory symbols
24. Victimisation
> Unfair treatment of a
worker by an employer
because of some
action the worker has
taken (you support a
worker who lodged a
complaint at work - and
now your shifts have
been changed or your
desk/office etc)
26. > Disabled people - have a
right to ask for reasonable
adjustments
> Reasonable if it is effective
without being disruptive,
costly, or impractical for the
employer to provide
> Adjustments do not have to
be expensive - many are
awareness and attitudes
focussed and promoting a
culture of openness
27. Examples of Reasonable Adjustments:
Flexible working hours
Phased return to work
Support to manage workload
Change of workspace
29. Recovery Model Aims:
> Decrease and prevent intrusive or
troubling feelings or behaviours
> Increase personal empowerment
> Improve quality of life
> Assist in achieving own life goals and
dreams
30. Five Key Concepts:
> Hope
> Personal
responsibility
> Education
> Self advocacy
> Support
32. Key Elements of WRAP
> Wellness tools
> Daily maintenance
plan
> Identify triggers and
action plan
> Crisis plan
> Post-crisis plan
33. > Advance Agreement
> A tool to increase
wellbeing and manage
mental ill health at work
> Created when well,
reviewed after period of
illness
> Sets up clear
communication
> Increases trust in the
relationship
34. Content:
> Specific diagnosis or symptoms and how they
present/impact at work
> Signs may becoming unwell
> How someone would like to be approached
> Reasonable adjustments
> Absence protocol and contact during absence
> Confidentiality and consent
35. Creating a Positive Culture:
> Regular
management
processes
> Encourage an
open culture
> Respect and
dignity
> Promotional
material in
office/field
> Stay connected
> Discuss staff
mental health
at work in
meetings, put
on agenda to
normalise
> Implement
changes such
as flexible
working
> Support the
managers too
> Encourage
self care
activities
> Managers as
role models
for good
stress
management
> Cultural
awareness
and sensitivity
36. > Resources Rx:
