Psychological Health and Safety Champion Training
The Champion training serves as an introductory to Psychological Health and Safety and focuses on giving you the foundational knowledge required to begin addressing psychological health and safety (PHS) in your workplace. We take a high level approach to similar themes found in the Advisor training and recommend that if you would like to participate in both trainings than you take the Champion training first however if you are looking for a more in depth and interactive training we recommend the Advisor training. If you have already completed the advisor training we also do not recommend you attend the Champion training unless you are looking for a refresher.
This 3-hour online training program focuses on giving you the foundational knowledge required to begin addressing psychological health and safety (PHS) in your workplace. Using the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety as a guide, participants will learn about the history and development of PHS in Canada, gain understanding of core concepts like psychological health, safety, and risk, as well as receive an expert overview of the core components of the Standard. Using a case study approach, participants will be able to apply their knowledge in order to practice articulating the benefits of addressing PHS and determining initial actions to begin improving PHS in the workplace.
Course Objectives:
- Learn and understand definitions of psychological health, safety and risk.
- Understand the parallels between OHS and PHS, including legislative and regulatory overlap.
- Define core elements of the National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace.
