Course Structure

The course content is framed according to four steps, represented by the acronym RAMP.

This is the core process that learners will use in The Working Mind. The steps are as follows:

• Reflection: Exploring the impact of mental health stigma.

• Awareness: Recognizing signs of change across the Mental Health Continuum.

• Movement: Taking proactive steps to build resilience and reduce stress.

• Practice: Sustaining self-care and help-seeking behaviours over time.

Module 1: Mental Health and Stigma

In Module 1, participants examine concepts of mental health and discuss the impacts of stigma on individuals living with mental health or substance use conditions

Module 2: Mental Health in the Workplace

In Module 2, participants learn about psychological health and safety in the workplace and use the Mental Health Continuum tool to notice changes in their mental health and well-being. They also discuss how to have conversations with others about mental health and taking appropriate actions

Module 3: Stress & Resilience

In Module 3, participants explore the impacts of stress on mental health, and practice applying the Big 4 Coping Strategies—simple but proven tools to deal with stress effectively and remain resilient
