Sometimes, “I’m fine” doesn’t really mean “I’m fine.”
What if mentors could recognise the signs that something might be changing — before a young worker completely disconnects?
🌱 The Depression chapter of the WORKPLACE SELF-DEVELOPMENT POWER BANK is designed to strengthen depression literacy for mentors, trainers and workplace facilitators.
Not to diagnose.
Not to become therapists.
Not to “fix” people.
But to notice, listen, support and know when to guide someone towards the right help. 💬
The chapter offers a clear, non-clinical framework to help mentors:
🔎 Recognise patterns that may signal that someone is struggling
🧩 Understand vulnerability factors in work and learning environments
💬 Start supportive conversations in a safe and respectful way
🧭 Know the boundaries between mentoring and therapy
🤝 Identify referral pathways when professional support may be needed
And there’s another important piece of the puzzle: strengths.
ROSE connects depression-sensitive mentoring with the principles of positive psychology — focusing not only on difficulties, but also on meaning, strengths, wellbeing and psychological resources.
✨ Hope.
💪 Efficacy.
🌱 Resilience.
☀️ Optimism.
These are at the heart of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) and can be nurtured through meaningful mentoring relationships.
Because workplace wellbeing isn't just about preventing problems.
It’s also about creating environments where people can reconnect, grow, regain confidence and flourish.
ROSE – Play. Grow. Flourish. 🌹
