Creating a mentally healthy workplace isn’t about adding extra tasks to your to-do list — it’s about embedding well-being into the way work happens every day. Mental health looks different for everyone, and it’s shaped by factors like identity, community, and lived experience. Understanding this helps create a workplace where all employees feel seen, supported, and able to bring their whole selves to work.
Inside this guide, you’ll find:
- Practical steps to support a mentally healthy workplace
- Resources to build knowledge, competencies and plans
This guide is based on the webinar “Mental Health at Work: A Safety Priority”, hosted by Inclusivity in partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association in October 2025. A big thank you to Roselene Dhaliwal, Director of Equity and Inclusion at CMHA BC Division, for her insights and contributions.
