Mental Health Training
Strategies for supporting mental health in the workplace.
Overview:
Mental health and burnout are intricately connected. According to the World Health Organization, burnout results from chronic workplace stress that has been unsuccessfully managed. Burnout consistently results in exhaustion, a negative view of one's workplace, and decreased effectiveness.
Workplace wellness programs that provide support and resources for employee well-being can prevent employee stress, anxiety, exhaustion, and compassion fatigue, resulting in greater resilience, productivity, workplace wellness and mental health status.
65% of Canadians who consider their organization a great place to work have among the most favourable mental health scores. (Mental Health Index.)
