This Workplace section aims to provide both employees and employers with the information and guidance they need to promote and support positive Mental Health in the Workplace.

Mental Health in the Workplace follows on the introduction of the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. The Standard is the first of its kind in the world. This handbook offers employers a step-by-step approach to adopting the Standard. By summarizing both the Standard and an Action Guide, published earlier by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, Mood Disorders Society of Canada has created for employers an accessible resource for making positive changes in their workplaces – changes that will benefit employees and protect their company’s bottom-line.
