• How to identify and respond to mental health challenges

• Practical ways to support yourself and your team

• How to reduce stigma and encourage open conversations

• The benefits of a mentally healthy workplace—for people and for business

Each chapter includes a short quiz, with a final assessment at the end of the course. Successful completion earns a certificate in “Mental Health Awareness For Restaurant Employees.”
