Meeting/Event Information
BHRA offers a multitude of professional development, networking, and round table events each year. As a supporter of both Janesville and Beloit communities, our events generally rotate between both cities. We also strive to offer programming at a variety of times throughout the year. Below are our upcoming meetings, we hope to see you there!
Mental Health Expert Panel
Most of us would know how to help if we saw someone having a heart attack—we’d start CPR, or at the very least, call 9-1-1. But too few of us would know how to respond if we saw an employee having a panic attack or if we were concerned that coworker might be showing signs of alcoholism.
Taking the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health and substance use problems is a challenging task for employers. Now more than ever mental health issues in the workplace are on the rise. Per the CDC, during August 2020 – February 2021, the percentage of adults with recent symptoms of an anxiety or a depressive disorder increased from 36.4% to 41.5%, and the percentage of those reporting an unmet mental health care need increased from 9.2% to 11.7%. What are you doing to train, adapt, and raise awareness of the mental health issues in your organization?
Join us on May 11th to hear from a panel of mental health subject matter experts. We will discuss Mental Health First Aid training tactics, how HR can begin to tackle the stigma of mental health in the workplace, and help to improve your understanding to safely and responsibly identify and address a potential mental illness or substance use disorder.
