The Working Mind, an evidence-based training, is designed to initiate a shift in the way people think and feel about and act with respect to mental health. It attempts to do so by increasing people's awareness; reducing stigma and other barriers to care in the workplace; encouraging mental health conversations; and strengthening personal resilience in order to maintain personal wellness and support others living with a mental health problem or illness in a psychologically healthy and safe work setting. This virtual course provides practical knowledge and skills to address mental health and mental illness in the workplace.
