Join the Greater Houston Partnership and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation (USCCF), in collaboration with the National Council for Behavioral Health (National Council) on Thursday, October 24th for an exclusive event focused on addressing mental health and employee well-being in the workplace. 

This regional training forum is part of a national partnership between USCCF and the National Council to help companies offer a workplace mental health training program to their employees. The National Council’s Mental Health First Aid at Work training helps businesses of all sizes provide employees with mental health awareness tools and skills to foster broader awareness and inclusive workplace cultures. 

Tailored to human resources executives, corporate social responsibility leaders, and decision makers, the forum will include a four-hour Mental Health First Aid at Work training conducted by the National Council on how to identify and respond to signs of addiction and mental illness in the workplace designed to help build a more resilient and productive workforce. 

Mental Health First Aid at Work is a skills-based, experiential, and evidence-based practice. Click here to learn more about Mental Health First Aid at Work.
