SLS - HS - Preventing Mental Injuries at Work
February 19, 2027 (9:00am-12:00pm (Saskatchewan)) (30 spaces available)

New forms of work, job insecurity, work intensification, high demands, violence and a resulting poor work-life balance are resulting in psychosocial and mental health problems in CUPE workplaces. This workshop focuses on the workplace as the cause or a contributor to mental health issues, and not the individual. We will discuss strategies and actions that actually help make workplaces psychologically healthier and safer.
