Workplace NL calls recent stats showing that half a million Canadian miss work every week due to a psychological health issue “staggering” and it’s aiming to do something about it.

Wokplace NL has a series of webinars scheduled to promote mental wellbeing.

Senior Health and Safety Advisor with Workplace NL, Cathy Barrett-Brinson says mental health is having a huge impact on workplaces.

She says they’re offering a virtual learning series for the fourth year in a row to talk about the effect mental health has in the workplace and to make sure that employers and workers are equipped with the tools they need to ensure a safe, and supportive workplace.
