We know that 1 in 5 works will experience a mental health concern. When a worker is off work, it is very important to know and understand the importance of creating a psychologically healthy and safe work environment.

We will also explore WCB trends and the principles of return to work to understand why we want to work together to build psychologically safe workplaces.
