A mentally healthy workplace is an environment that actively strives to support employee well-being and prevent psychological harm. When employees feel supported and valued at work, engagement and productivity increase, resulting in better performance outcomes. This course will introduce participants to strategies they can bring back to their organization to promote and enhance their mental health at work.

Suitable for any organization, this course will broaden awareness of mental health definitions and the impact of mental health challenges in the workplace. Participants will recognize how they can contribute to the psychological health of their workplace and consider the relationship between mental health and the workplace. Ultimately, mental health tools and strategies will be provided to be applied in the participant's own workplace.
