Workplace mental health training and resources
Empower managers and build your culture
Your workplace culture is key to your organization’s mental wellness. Manager training is an essential piece of your workplace culture and mental health strategy.
The increasing prevalence of mental illness in Canada may challenge the workplace in many ways. If left unmanaged, employers may experience higher costs associated with mental health.
Managers have a key role in the prevention of mental health problems in the workplace by identifying signs and symptoms and encouraging the employee to seek appropriate resources.
