Your work in healthcare is hugely important and rewarding, but we also know it’s equally challenging. It can negatively impact your psychological health. We’re on your side.

This year’s theme is “Mental Health at Work.”

Outside of our home, our workplace is often where we spend most of our time. That means it’s important to create an environment that feels psychologically safe and healthy. When our mental health suffers at work, it can affect everyone—from higher absences and turnover of staff to reduced quality of care for residents and clients.

We all have a responsibility to address mental health at work. Here are some tips to get you started.

1. Foster open communication
   • Create a workplace culture where employees feel comfortable discussing mental health concerns without fear of judgment.
2. Promote work-life balance
   • Encourage employees to prioritize their well-being outside of work by setting boundaries and using their vacation time.
3. Provide mental health resources and training
   • Empower employees to take proactive steps for their well-being and support their colleagues.
