Workplace Mental Health: Embracing a Population Health Framework

About the webinar:

This presentation will explore the critical role of healthy leadership in supporting workers’ mental health through a population health framework. The session is designed to provide evidence-based insights and practical guidance on how leaders (i.e., senior leaders, managers, supervisors) can support and protect mental health through proactive and responsive supportive strategies. A review of workplace psychosocial risk factors will be included along with a general discussion about how the workplace is a missing link in understanding and promoting population mental health.

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this activity, the learner will be able to:

  • Describe mental health from an occupational health and management perspective

  • Identify how managers and front-line supervisors can support and promote mental health in the workplace

  • Explain how managers can recognize warning signs and provide support to employees experiencing declines in mental health and well-being
