MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION
Building Mental Health Awareness and Understanding in the Workplace
Mental health is part of the human experience, and it affects how we show up in our work, relationships and everyday lives. Yet recognizing when someone may be struggling, knowing how to respond, or even starting a conversation about mental health isn't always easy.
Education can make such a big difference.
Creating a safe and healthy workplace goes beyond physical safety. It also means looking after the mental and emotional wellbeing of the people who show up every day.
Through practical, engaging workshops, I help employees, leaders and supervisors better understand mental health, recognize challenges and feel more confident supporting themselves and others.
The goal is to encourage greater understanding, reduce stigma and help create workplaces where people feel safe, supported and comfortable reaching out when they need help.

AN EXPERIENCED,
PRACTICAL APPROACH
Through my work with the LNG Canada Project, Workplace Options and TELUS Health, I've spent several years delivering mental health education and supporting people through challenging workplace situations.
My experience has included supporting workers and crews through mental health crises, connecting people with appropriate resources, and helping leadership teams navigate sensitive mental health concerns.
I bring these experiences into my workshops, combining practical knowledge, real-world examples and meaningful discussion to make mental health education accessible, engaging and relevant to today's workplaces.
