Mental illness is a leading cause of disability in Canada, yet stigma around the topic is a key reason why many people don’t talk about mental illness in their workplaces.
This half-day workshop is your opportunity to become better informed and explore communication strategies in order to promote a greater understanding of occupational mental health and illness.
The workshop includes a demonstration of Mindsight, an online educational resource to reduce stigma by promoting awareness and facilitating a greater understanding of basic strategies and resources for supporting individuals experiencing a mental health challenge..
Who should attend: WSIB Representatives, RTW Specialists, Health & Safety reps, Human Resources, Workplace Leadership and Union Stewards
