The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) is developing a new program that will support Canadian employers looking to foster the psychological health and safety of their workers.
Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) is contributing roughly $820,000 over three years to support the creation of MHCC’s Psychological Health and Safety Audit Program. This project will be led by MHCC’s training arm, Opening Minds.
“Mental care is healthcare,” says Randy Boissonnault, minister of employment, workforce development and official languages, adding the project “will lead to improving health and wellness for workers from coast to coast to coast.”
