Your Health Space is a free workplace mental health training program for Ontario’s health care organizations.
At Your Health Space, we support Ontario’s health care organizations by delivering psychoeducational training designed to address chronic workplace stress. Our goal? To help you create a psychologically healthy and safe workplace – where your team feels supported, valued, and well.
Psychoeducation is the first step toward a shared understanding of employee wellness. Through engaging and practical training, we help your organization build awareness, encourage knowledge exchange, and spark meaningful conversations about mental health at work.
Whether you’re just starting to explore wellness strategies or looking to deepen your team’s understanding, Your Health Space is here to support you – every step of the way.
“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!”
“Our experience with the offerings from Your Health Space have been phenomenal – from the trainers to the content delivery and the coordination. We are pleased to have hosted the Wellness Moments offering at all five of our long-term care homes and adult day services centres, offered training to our support teams through webinars and in-services, and training to our leadership team through the Fostering Well-Being through Leadership series. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Your Health Space!”
“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.”
“Your Health Space has been such a valuable resource to our staff at The Ottawa Mission. [They] have visited us several times to lead trainings, and we have been blown away by their knowledge, experience and compassion for what client and patient-facing staff experience. More than one staff member has commented that it was the most valuable training they have ever received. We have felt supported, validated and understood in this work. We look forward to hosting future events and trainings with the Your Health Space team.”
“Working through the COVID 19 pandemic was a stressful period for Public Health staff. The Your Health Space workshops, both virtual and in person, provided staff the opportunity to learn strategies to manage stress and deal with burnout. The Your Health Space facilitators offered relevant content, shared experiences, and listened with empathy. I would recommend these workshops to all health care organizations.”
