Long-Term Care - Your Health Space

Supporting Long-Term Care Staff with Your Health Space

We recognize the distinct pressures faced by long-term care staff—grief, burnout, trauma, and the emotional weight of caring for others every day. That’s why Your Health Space offers a free, evidence-based training program tailored specifically to the realities of Ontario long-term care settings like yours. It is delivered by a trainer team representing all regions of Ontario.

Through a range of flexible learning options – whether it’s a quick Wellness Moment during shift change or an in-depth live workshop – staff gain practical tools to help reduce stress, strengthen mental well-being, and support a psychologically safe workplace.

Your home might be focused on supporting leaders in creating a culture of compassion, or on building stronger connections among care teams – whatever the goal, Your Health Space is here to help your long-term care staff thrive, both in their roles and as part of a resilient, caring community. Join the over forty long-term care homes across Ontario that have partnered with Your Health Space to support their teams and, ultimately, the quality of care for residents.

Our partnership with CMHA Ontario has been integral as PeopleCare works to build a meaningful, sustained wellness culture. Together with the YHS team, we co-designed a plan to provide mental health training to PeopleCare’s workforce of 1,200 staff, on topics such as workplace psychological safety and resiliency. Your Health Space is a solution those who work in health care profoundly need.

We are so grateful for YHS.

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!
