CMHA Psychological Health and Safety: The Essentials
The Essentials training serves as an introduction to Psychological Health and Safety and gives you the foundational knowledge required to begin addressing psychological health and safety (PHS) in your workplace. This training takes a high-level approach to themes covered in the Professional Certificate. We recommend The Essentials training for those seeking an introduction to Psychological Health and Safety. For in-depth and interactive training, we recommend the Professional Certificate.
