Creating
space for workplace mental health.

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

Since the program’s launch in 2022, it has trained over 70,000 participants. Your Health Space program aims to assist Ontario’s health care organizations in supporting health care workers and leaders in hospitals, mental health and addiction services, long-term care homes, primary care settings, and home and community care settings. Through interactive live workshops, self-directed e-Learning, webinars, and microlearning, 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 delivered through a Space for Leaders and a Space for Connection (including health care workers and support staff). The program offers live workshops, webinars, self-directed e-Learning, and microlearning. Topics include:

Fostering Well-Being Through Leadership

Cultivating Physician Well-Being

Understanding and Addressing Burnout

Challenging Stigma

Managing Stress

Fostering Trauma-Informed Workplaces

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.
