CENTRE WELLINGTON – The Township of Centre Wellington is developing a workplace mental health strategy for their staff to address a nationwide health and financial problem.
Councillor Neil Dunsmore, who is noted for his work on mental health awareness, presented a motion to develop a strategy that would see the township promote a psychologically safe workplace.
Dunsmore explained that a psychologically safe workplace means a place free of harm, bullying, harassment and unreasonable work demands among other
“It is at the very core not about mental health but about mental distress which if allowed to go on and on will spiral down into a mental health issue,” Dunsmore said.
