CWHP-A Reflections: Unit WWC00

Although this first unit took me way longer to complete than I had ever anticipated, I’m happy to have completed this first unit and continue with my learning.

The two areas that really stood out to me were: Workplace Health and Performance Pillars and Health & Performance and National Prosperity.

I think that they pillars provide a great framework to move individuals through as a consultant on workplace mental health. It aligns nicely with the 5 recognized management system standards in the National Standard. This is an area that I will improve my practice by taking more time on the first two pillars, as I tend to jump right into the “doing” of pillar 3.

The concept of National Prosperity really spoke to me. I have embedded this concept into my trainings by reflecting on the economic impact a well community has on its local businesses and services. Just as children receive health promotion programs at school, we need to be providing health promotion programs at work to enhance community resilience.
