Module One – Understanding Mental Health and Psychological Safety
The video in this section is a quick explanation to your online course, which will summarize the layout of Modules, Lessons, and Quizzes. You only need to watch this video once during the course.
Module 1: Understanding Mental Health and Psychological Safety
A strong foundation in mental health awareness and psychological safety is essential for creating workplaces where people feel valued, supported, and able to perform at their best. This introductory module explores what mental health really means in the context of work — moving beyond myths and stigma to focus on the real factors that shape employee well-being and organizational culture.
Participants will learn how psychological safety — the shared belief that it’s safe to speak up, make mistakes, and express concerns without fear — directly impacts trust, engagement, innovation, and performance. The module examines how workplace culture, leadership behaviour, policies, and communication practices influence mental health, and why proactive support is more effective than reactive crisis response.
By the end of this module, learners will be able to:
-
Define mental health and psychological safety in a workplace context
-
Recognize the importance of psychological safety for team performance and organizational success
-
Identify common misconceptions and barriers to mental health conversations
-
Understand how workplace factors — including culture, leadership, and workload — influence psychological well-being
-
Begin building a shared language and approach to discussing mental health without stigma
This foundational knowledge sets the stage for the rest of the course, helping organizations move from awareness to meaningful action in building a psychologically healthy workplace.
Module Two – Workplace Response, Roles and Responsibilities
The video in this section is a quick explanation to your online course, which will summarize the layout of Modules, Lessons, and Quizzes. You only need to watch this video once during the course.
Module 2: Workplace Response, Roles and Responsibilities
No one works in a vacuum. Mental health challenges — whether they’re sparked by workplace pressures, personal struggles, or a mix of both — affect how people show up, how teams function, and how organizations succeed. And when someone is struggling, the way we respond matters more than we often realize. The truth is, psychological safety isn’t built by policies alone — it’s created through daily actions, supportive conversations, and shared responsibility.
This module is about learning what those actions look like in practice. Whether you’re a co-worker, a team leader, or part of the leadership group, you have a role to play in supporting mental health at work. Sometimes, that means simply listening without judgment and showing someone they’re not alone. Other times, it involves stepping in as a leader to reduce risks, make accommodations, or connect someone to the right support resources. And at the organizational level, it means designing policies and programs that make mental health a priority — not an afterthought.
Over the next three lessons, we’ll explore how to respond with confidence and care when a colleague is struggling, how leaders can foster a psychologically safe environment through their actions and decisions, and how organizations can embed mental health into their policies, programs, and ongoing practices. You’ll learn how to approach sensitive conversations, what to say (and what not to say), how to maintain trust and confidentiality, and how to know when it’s time to bring in additional help.
Most importantly, this module will help you shift from “not knowing what to do” to feeling prepared, equipped, and empowered to take action. Because supporting mental health at work isn’t about being an expert — it’s about being human, paying attention, and knowing how to show up when it matters most.
Module Three – Strategies and Tips
The video in this section is a quick explanation to your online course, which will summarize the layout of Modules, Lessons, and Quizzes. You only need to watch this video once during the course.
Module 3: Strategies and Tips – Introduction
Building a psychologically healthy workplace doesn’t stop with policies, leadership commitments, or awareness — it requires practical, everyday actions that help people manage stress, build resilience, and support one another. Module 3 is designed to give you those tools. In this module, we shift the focus from theory to practice, exploring real-world strategies that individuals, teams, and organizations can use to strengthen mental well-being at work. You’ll learn how to recognize and manage work-related stress, encourage self-care, and create team environments that communicate openly and support each other through challenges. We’ll also look at how employers can embed mental health into the fabric of workplace culture through accessible resources, inclusive policies, and ongoing improvement. From simple, low-cost initiatives to practical tips for hybrid and remote teams, this module is packed with actionable strategies you can start using right away. By the end, you’ll not only understand what a mentally healthy workplace looks like — you’ll have a clear plan to help build one.
