This training session is available as either a group training session or one-on-one coaching.

Mental health can be affected by many factors, including the ones at work. Most common risks involve interactions between work type, organizational and managerial environments, employee skills and abilities, as well as the support employees receive to do their jobs.

Individuals with mental illnesses have the right to receive support from their employers when they return to work or continue to work. Employers should ensure that employees with mental disabilities feel at ease asking for help, and that they have access to the resources they require.

For Mental Health in the Workplace, there are employer-based training programs. The ultimate goal of the program is to improve employer health. It is focused on strategies that lower chronic disease risk for employees and improve worker productivity and interaction in the workplace.
