Creating
space for workplace mental health.

Your Health Space is a free workplace mental health program developed by the Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario Division.

This program aims to assist organizations in supporting Health Care Workers and Leaders employed in hospitals, mental health and addiction services, long-term care homes, and primary, home, and community care settings. Through interactive live workshops, self-directed modules, and microlearning Wellness Moments, your team will learn effective strategies to address chronic workplace stress and promote psychological health and safety in the workplace.

Program Spaces

Your Health Space is designed for Leaders and Health Care Workers (including frontline and support staff), with each provided their own distinct space to participate in the program. A third space for Connection invites staff members from all levels of an organization to participate in training together. Topics include:

Managing Stress in the
Workplace

Promoting Psychological Health and Safety

Fostering Trauma-Informed Workplaces

Burnout: From Exhaustion to Efficacy

Mindfulness in the Workplace

Enhancing Psychological Support

The trainers worked closely with us to customize training and deliver on-site micro-learning sessions to our front-line staff at 5 of our hospital sites. Their flexibility and creativity paid off – we received positive feedback from many managers and employees who participated in the sessions. Thanks YHS for working with us on this very important initiative!

The workshop topics are very informative and provide our staff with useful resources and tools to support not only their work-life and work relationships, but also can be applied to personal experiences at home. The added bonus of having the debriefing sessions also helps our team to connect with each other and have honest conversations about mental health in the workplace and the importance of acknowledging how it impacts everyone.

Your Health Space coordinators and Trainers have been helpful, responsive, and committed to creating a tailored approach that is unique to the needs of our dynamic health care setting. The training content offers an important opportunity to analyze the moral distress, moral injury, and burnout that our staff members experience as health care workers… I look forward to our continued shared learning experience.

The sessions not only helped us understand the importance of mental and physical well-being, but also provided us with actionable steps to improve our overall health and happiness. I am confident that the knowledge and skills gained during these sessions will be beneficial to us in our personal and professional lives. Thank you for your work and dedication to the well-being of our staff members.

Your Health Space is a free program funded by Ontario’s Ministry of Health and offered to publicly funded health care serving organizations across the province.
