    • Showing Up: Stories of Thriving at Work: One in five people in Canada lives with a mental health challenge. Many of them are your colleagues, your managers, your mentors. They show up, contribute, lead — and they do it while navigating something most people never see. This Labour Day, we’re telling their stories.
    • Resource: Suicide Prevention in the Workplace: This guide was created in consultation with partners from various workplaces and experts in the field of workplace mental health and suicide prevention, as well as people with lived and living experience. Originally released in 2021, the guide was recently refreshed to reflect today’s realities and incorporate new and emerging resources and best practices, such as 9-8-8 and suicide postvention.
