Read Sheema’s full bioWhy The Working Mind?
One in five Canadian workers experiences a mental health issue in any given year. TWM gives your organization a shared language and a practical framework for supporting wellbeing — without putting clinical care on managers.
Measurable outcomes
Built around The Mental Health Continuum — a practical model that helps teams identify where they are and what to do next.
Stigma reduction
Real stories from people with lived experience are central to the curriculum, normalizing conversations about mental health at work.
What participants walk away with
- Reduce stigma and discrimination around mental illness in the workplace
- Recognize early signs of declining mental health in yourself and others
- Have supportive, stigma-free conversations with colleagues
- Use practical coping strategies grounded in cognitive behavioural principles
- Build a workplace culture that supports help-seeking and recovery
Two streams, one framework
The Working Mind is offered in two formats so the right people get the right depth of training.
Employees
A 4-hour course that gives all team members the language, awareness, and skills to support their own mental health and that of their colleagues.
Managers & Leaders
An 8-hour course that builds on the employee curriculum and equips people leaders to recognize warning signs, respond appropriately, and accommodate team members.
Course Structure
Four Modules. Real Transformation.
Employees complete Modules 1–3 in the four-hour course. Managers and leaders continue with Module 4 in the eight-hour stream.
Module 01
Mental Health Stigma
Examine the foundations of mental health and discuss the real-world impact of stigma on individuals living with mental health or substance use challenges.
Module 02
Mental Health in the Workplace
Learn about psychological safety using the Mental Health Continuum Tool, a dynamic model for understanding where individuals sit on the mental health spectrum.
Module 03
Stress & Resilience
Explore the impact of chronic stress and practice applying the Big 4 coping strategies for stress. These simple, proven tools help you stay resilient under pressure.
Module 04 — Managers Only
Supporting Your Team
Practice skills to recognize and respond to mental health concerns across the continuum, and navigate critical incidents with confidence and care.
Core Frameworks
Practical Tools Your Team Will Actually Use
Every participant leaves with two simple, repeatable frameworks — not abstract theory.
The Mental Health Continuum
A visual model for understanding mental health as a dynamic spectrum
The Mental Health Continuum Tool uses general signs and indicators to help you track your mental health. People's mental health can move back and forth along the continuum. The Continuum tool helps you notice changes in your mood, attitude, behaviours, substance use, and physical changes, so you can take the appropriate actions needed to support your mental health and well-being in all colour zones.
The RAMP Framework
Reflection · Awareness · Movement · Practice
RAMP is a practical framework designed to help you understand, strengthen, and sustain your mental health. It guides you through four interconnected stages: Reflection, Awareness, Movement, and Practice. RAMP isn't linear — it's a continuous cycle that evolves with you. Each stage supports the next, helping you respond to challenges, reduce stigma, and strengthen your mental health.
