Workplace mental health matters.
People are talking more openly about mental health and wellness — attitudes are shifting, awareness is growing — but the work we need to do to foster safe, supportive, and mentally healthy spaces is an ongoing effort. Like our physical health, we need to take care of our mental health. And since we spend most of our waking hours at work, we can’t just leave mental health concerns at the door when we start our workday.
To support our UFV community Human Resources offers Not Myself Today®, an initiative of the Canadian Mental Health Association, to all employees. We encourage you to explore the resources, tools, and activities that are available to each of you online 24/7.
The Not Myself Today program focuses on three main objectives:
- building a greater awareness and understanding of mental health
- reducing stigma, and
- fostering a safe and supportive work culture.
