Canadian Mental Health Week

BACK TO YOU: DON HURST

May 1 to 7 is Mental Health Week, a mental health awareness campaign sponsored by the Canadian Mental Health Association. Support your employees and promote mental health by:

  • Starting a conversation about mental health. For example, talk about stress, and how to manage it in your safety talks
  • Being aware of behavioral changes in your coworkers and encouraging them to talk
  • Assisting workers in detecting mental health issues early. Encourage employees to access free online screening tools and resources
  • Supporting your employee’s efforts to get help. Allow an employee to work flexible hours to go to therapy.
