Recognize the Signs

Learn how to identify behavioural and performance changes that may indicate a team member is struggling with their mental health – without diagnosing or overstepping your role.

Respond with Skill and Care

Develop the language and approach to have supportive conversations with employees about their well-being – maintaining appropriate boundaries while showing genuine care.

Reduce Stigma as a Leader

Connect Employees to Support

Learn what supports and resources are typically available, and how to guide employees toward them without overstepping your role as a manager.

Promote Day-to-Day Well-Being
