Introducing Your Health Space

Nov 25, 2022

The past few years have been a challenging time for those working in healthcare
settings. Healthcare workers, support staff, and organizational leaders are all facing
extreme levels of stress and burnout.

To help, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Ontario has launched Your
Health Space, a free workplace mental health service for Ontario’s healthcare
organizations. The program works with healthcare organizations to support the mental
health of their staff by increasing awareness, encouraging authentic conversations, and
providing resources and tools to promote psychological health and safety in the
workplace.

Your Health Space programming is delivered through three distinct spaces designed for
Health Care Workers, Leaders, and Support Staff working in hospitals, long-term care
facilities, and home and community care settings. This includes nurses, doctors,
personal support workers, human resource officers, chief executive officers, presidents,
custodial staff, IT staff, administrative staff, kitchen staff, and security personnel.
Through this program, healthcare workers can learn to recognize and manage
symptoms of chronic workplace stress and connect with colleagues through facilitated
discussions.

The program can be tailored to meet your organization’s unique needs, with both virtual
and in-person options. To learn more about the program’s offerings and register your
organization, please visit YourHealthSpace.ca
