We need to do better when it comes to supporting employee mental health and well-being.
Sometimes we go to work and forget the most vital resource we have, people. On October 10th, 2018 I'll be teaching a full day course at University of Toronto St. George Campus on the topic of Creating A Workplace Culture of Mental Health through the School of Continuing Studies.
In this full day, interactive course you’ll learn how to make mental health and well-being in the workplace more approachable, practical and participatory. You’ll better understand how to build positive team culture at work supporting mental health, beyond policy and beyond just spending money. Through commitment, investment, participation and renewal you will develop new tools to embed well-being into team culture.
