At the launch of the 'Learn 2 Listen' campaign are former Irish rally driver Rosemary Smith, Louisa Murray, Volunteer with Dublin Samaritans and Head of HR and Development, Phil Donohue of Dublin Bus. Dublin Samaritans have launched a new wellbeing programme ‘Learn 2 Listen’ - a practical workshop which aims to help companies build their emotional support toolkit. It aims to give employees an increased awareness of mental health issues in the workplace and practise the key skill of ‘active listening'. Nicholas Nally, Volunteer Outreach Director with Dublin Samaritans said the objective of the workshops is to “give managers an increased understanding of mental health support in the workplace and to give them the knowledge and tools to provide emotional support to colleagues. Once it is safe to do so, Dublin Samaritans will deliver the training inhouse.
