Your Health Space

Home > Resources > Boots On The Ground

A free workplace mental health service for Ontario’s healthcare organizations.

The past few years have been a challenging time for those working in healthcare settings. Healthcare workers, support staff, and organizational leaders are all facing extreme levels of stress and burnout.

To help, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Ontario has launched Your Health Space, a free workplace mental health service for Ontario’s healthcare organizations. The program works with healthcare organizations to support the mental health of their staff by increasing awareness, encouraging authentic conversations, and providing resources and tools to promote psychological health and safety in the workplace.

Your Health Space programming is delivered through three distinct spaces designed for Health Care Workers, Leaders, and Support Staff working in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home and community care settings. This includes nurses, doctors, personal support workers, human resource officers, chief executive officers, presidents, custodial staff, IT staff, administrative staff, kitchen staff, and security personnel. Through this program, healthcare workers can learn to recognize and manage symptoms of chronic workplace stress and connect with colleagues through facilitated discussions.
