Proactive Support for a Mentally Healthier Workplace

Every week, more than 500,000 Canadians miss work due to mental health concerns. Despite growing awareness, stigma and misunderstanding still prevent many employees from reaching out or speaking up.

The Working Mind (TWM) is an evidence-based mental health training course designed to initiate a shift in how people think, feel, and act about mental health. It helps employees and managers recognize early signs of mental health decline, reduce stigma, and build strong, resilient teams.
