Employee Mental Health Strategy

As an employer, the University of Windsor understands that workplaces play a key role in promoting and protecting the mental health of employees. The workplace can and should be a source of positivity as it provides individuals with a purpose, financial security, a sense of identity, and social connections, but the workplace also has the potential to be a source of stress that negatively impacts mental health and well-being.

The Employee Mental Health Strategy for the University of Windsor launched in November 2023. It provides a roadmap to promote mental health and well-being, minimize workplace risks to mental health, support employees throughout the mental health continuum, and build a psychologically healthy and safe workplace culture.

The Stratey's two-year implementation timeline concluded in October 2025 and this website now serves as a hub for Employee Mental Health Strategy resources and historical updates from the Implementation Working Group.
