World Mental Health Day

October 10 is World Mental Health Day. The overall objective of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health. 

This World Mental Health Day, the World Health Organization is highlighting mental health in the workplace. Safe, healthy working environments can act as a protective factor for mental health. With 60% of the global population in work, urgent action is needed to ensure work prevents risks to mental health and protects and supports mental health at work. 

The Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) is committed to enhancing staff wellbeing. Guarding Minds at Work is one resource currently being implemented by LRSD to respond to Strategic 1.2. of the Multi Year Strategic Plan. Visit their page for resources that promote and support employee wellness.
