Our Commitment to Mental Health.
HPEPH recognizes that good mental health is vital for a fulfilling life, both at work and at home, and that it is a fundamental element of the resilience that enables people to cope with adversity and reach their full potential. We’re committed to ensuring all employees have access to the information, strategies, and resources they need to look after their mental well-being.
Leaders play a unique role in safeguarding the mental health of employees. In 2024, HPEPH partnered with Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Ontario’s Your Health Space to roll out a series of psychological health and well-being training sessions for leaders across the organization. These sessions explored the concept of health-oriented leadership; the role of leaders in promoting the psychological health and safety of teams; and the importance of self-care among leaders. Participants were equipped with the information and tools needed to support both their employees and themselves.
