How Exude’s Employee Mental Health Training Can Help
With workplace stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression on the rise, people leaders play a critical role in supporting the mental health of their teams. Yet most managers feel underprepared to address these challenges. This 3-hour live training provides leaders with practical tools and evidence-based strategies grounded in the Mental Health Supportive Supervisor Behaviors (MHSSB) framework, developed through leading research in occupational mental health.
Our learning objectives include:

- Apply six core MHSSBs to protect and promote employee wellbeing:
1. Emotional Support – Building connection and trust through empathy and presence.
2. Practical Support – Helping employees navigate work-life demands and access resources.
3. Role Modeling – Demonstrating healthy boundaries, self-care, and vulnerability as a leader.
4. Stigma Reduction – Creating a culture where it’s safe to talk about and seek help for mental health.
5. Warning Sign Recognition – Identifying behavioral shifts that may indicate distress.
6. Warning Sign Response – Knowing how to approach supportive conversations and refer to resources.
All employee wellbeing courses can be customized to meet the needs of your organization. And each session has the ability to be delivered virtually or on site, and can be offered as a single wellbeing in the workplace training session or built into a comprehensive program.
How are Prevalent Mental Health Issues in the Workplace?
It may surprise you to know that employees that have mental illness are very prevalent in the workplace. Your company most likely has several employees who are ashamed to say anything, suffering in silence, and unaware of strategies they can use to help them through rough patches day by day.
According to the world health organization, 15% of the working age are suffering from some form of mental health issue. The WHO also notes that 60% of the world’s population is in work, so if we do the math that means roughly 700-800 million employees could benefit from mental health training.
Anxiety and Depression are the most common forms of mental illness in USA. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety is highly treatable, but only just over 1/3 of people seek help for it. So, there is a high likelihood that you know of an employee or colleague who is masking a mental health issue.
How Detrimental Are Mental Health Issues to Employee Wellbeing and the Company?
Depression can be infectious, not only affecting the employee suffering but also those around them. Employee wellbeing can also dictate how much effort an employee can give towards a project. Those suffering can experience procrastination, leading to missed deadlines or incomplete projects. In rare instances, if left untreated, depression can be dangerous, putting employee, colleagues, and managers at risk.
