For Employers

Mental Health Works
Mental Health Works is an award-winning program that helps organizations focus on solutions to mental health issues in the workplace to benefit employers and employees alike.

Our services and resources address the need when unaddressed mental health issues at work create challenges

  • Concerns about performance, productivity, absenteeism, staff turnover, workplace conflict, morale
  • Increasing disability costs
  • Fear of legal liability in complex cases

Our services and resources offer practical solutions to complex issues to allow managers to respond immediately and appropriately. For example:

  • Our range of workshops allow you to choose the training you think is most important
  • We can deliver a full-day workshop or 3-hour modules, whatever works for you.
  • We are straightforward about the issues. We care about the well-being of the employee with mental health problems, AND about the effect on co-workers and management.
  • Our practical strategies work for all managers whether they are experienced or new, confident or hesitant, comfortable managing people or not

Client quotes
“From the conversations I had with participants after the workshop and from the evaluations, it seems that it was a good learning experience for all who attended and opened people’s minds and hearts to those who live with mental illness. It also gave supervisors/managers the tools to help them handle difficult situations, even if they cannot always identify the specific nature of a problem.

I personally want to thank you both for ‘being there’ and for doing this incredibly important work. It has been a privilege to meet you. Thank you for helping me to care even better for the employees I serve.

I still refer to your excellent programme as I talk with other colleagues.”
