Psychological issues at work — bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders

Who is the training «Psychological issues at work — bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders» designed for?

This DYNSEO training is aimed at managers and HR professionals who face mental health issues in the workplace. Mental health is the first recognized disability in France and is still largely taboo. The course helps these professionals move beyond fears and clichés and understand what they are dealing with at work.

What will I learn about depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders at work?

You will learn to understand depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders in a professional context. The course teaches you to recognize how they can show up at work without making a diagnosis, to react without overprotecting or discriminating, and to create conditions for sustainable employment retention for the person concerned.

Does the course teach managers how to handle a crisis situation at work?

Yes. The third module, devoted to reacting and supporting, includes lessons on approaching the subject respectfully, putting concrete measures in place and managing a crisis situation. It ends with a lesson of practical scenarios, so you can practise reacting appropriately to situations similar to those you may meet in your team.

Will this training make me able to diagnose a team member's mental health condition?

No, and that is not its purpose. The training explicitly teaches you to observe and recognize manifestations without making a diagnosis. Scenario-based lessons help you practise observing behaviours objectively, so you can respond in a respectful, appropriate way while staying within the role of a manager or HR professional.

How is the online training on psychological issues at work organized?

The training is 100% online and you follow it at your own pace, with no fixed schedule. It is organized into five modules: understanding psychological issues, recognizing manifestations, reacting and supporting, retaining employment and promoting inclusion, and a final quiz. Each module contains short lessons you can complete one at a time.

How long are the lessons and how much time does the course take?

The whole training lasts 4 hours. Each lesson takes between 15 and 25 minutes, so you can progress step by step, one lesson at a time, whenever it suits your schedule. This makes it easy to fit the course around a busy managerial or HR workload without setting aside long blocks of time.

Do I get a certificate, and can I go back to the lessons later?

Yes. DYNSEO issues a certificate of completion at the end of the course. Access to the training also remains open over time, so you can return to the lessons as many times as you like, for example to refresh your knowledge before a delicate conversation or when a new situation arises in your team.
