Languishing: Making Sense of that Blah Feeling

It is encouraging to see more and more organisations discussing mental illness in the workplace. However, a pattern often observed in our workplaces is that issues around employees’ mental health are not discussed until things have deteriorated significantly. This talk aims to help both employer and employee identify ways in which Languishing may present in our lives and our teams, so that early address and intervention can help to support our people back to positive mental health sooner, more efficiently and with far less harm to wellbeing.

In this session we will:

• Contextualizing the “Blah feeling”
• What is Languishing? And how is it different to mental health struggles?
• Identifying Languishing in yourself, and in these times
• Transforming Languishing before it becomes Depression
