Mental health training made just for you

CMHA National offers a team of in-house Workplace Mental Health Specialists who will work with you to create customized training solutions tailored to your business, no matter its size.

The cost of lost productivity in Canadian workplaces is $17 billion per year¹ and this is often due to lack of organizational support for workplace mental health. Employers feel the impact through things like low engagement, high turnover, and increased absences. If you’re motivated to improve this at your organization, we’re here to help.

Contact our team to get started on making your organization a psychologically healthier, more productive workplace.
