A new webpage from Human Resources connects employees to resources to support positive mental health.

Mental health is key to our well-being, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association, which has designated May 3 to 9 as Mental Health Week: “It involves how we feel, think, act, and interact with the world around us. Mental health is about realizing our potential, coping with the normal stresses of life, and making a contribution to our community.”

The Mental Health Resources website, which emerged from the COVID-19 Employee Pulse Check survey, highlights resources to help nurture one’s mental health and address mental health concerns.

It includes:

• Supports available through the Employee and Family Assistance Program delivered through Morneau Shepell.
• Services, programs, and resources available in the community.
• Helpful mental health information and resources.

The Department of Human Resources encourages employees to visit the Mental Health Resources website and forward suggestions for further resources to be highlighted to employeeengagement@uwindsor.ca.
