The Working Mind in Healthcare

As healthcare professionals, it is imperative for us to prioritize mental health for ourselves, our patients and the people we work with. The South Island Division of Family Practice recently hosted twenty-eight of your moa’s and clinic managers at a Working Mind in Healthcare Workshop. Facilitated by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, this training was aimed at providing your team members with tools to promote mental health in the workplace, reduce the stigma of mental illness and maintain their own mental health with self care and compassion. Thank you to all the participants who attended and let us continue to uphold the values of empathy, understanding, and support as we work together to promote mental health and well-being within our team and beyond.
