Developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, The Working Mind is an evidence-based training program.
The program gives employees and leaders practical tools to understand mental health, recognize changes in well-being, communicate more effectively, and support themselves and others.
For organizations exploring workplace peer support training, The Working Mind provides a structured way to develop many of the core skills employees need.
Separate manager and employee editions ensure every participant gets content directly relevant to their role and daily situations.
Identify mental health challenges in yourself and colleagues before they escalate.
Initiate supportive, stigma-free conversations with confidence and empathy.
Reduce stigma in everyday interactions.Learn to have supportive conversations about mental health with confidence.
Understand your own mental health baseline and take intentional actions to protect and improve your mental health.
Peer support training helps employees respond more effectively when they notice a colleague experiencing a change in mental well-being.
The goal is not to turn employees into counsellors.
The goal is to give people practical skills for everyday workplace situations.
Employees learn how to:
“We wanted to make sure each team had someone with adequate knowledge, expertise, and confidence to help manage mental health challenges. We recognized that we couldn't provide individual assistance to each employee across the country, so we saw value in investing in our leaders.”
“When we brought our proposed mental health strategy to the leadership team, it wasn't difficult to get buy-in. There was an honest understanding and interest to support our team members, and even greater enthusiasm when we presented the long-term return on investment.”
“It was really beneficial to work with an organization who has credibility in the space, which the Mental Health Commission obviously does. There's many reasons why IHSA wanted to go with the Mental Health Commission and customize the program.”
