Psychological Health & Safety (PHS) FAQ

Accreditation

Is PHS training officially accredited?

Yes. Our courses are officially accredited by the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) Opening Minds branch, aligning with the National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the workplace.

Definition

PHS vs. Individual Mental Health?

While mental health is an individual's state, PHS is the employer's duty. It focuses on managing psychosocial hazards—like workload, culture, and leadership—to prevent psychological harm at the source.

About PHS
Business Case

What are the quantifiable benefits?

Implementing PHS training fulfills your legal duty of care, significantly reduces litigation risk, and lowers the high financial costs associated with disability claims, turnover, and absenteeism.

Strategy

Who in the organization should train?

We use a layered approach: "Introduction to PHS" is designed for the universal workforce, while "Integrating PHS" is tailored for HR, Leaders, and OHS professionals managing organizational risk.

Requirements

Are there prior qualifications?

No prior experience is required. The Introduction to PHS course serves as the foundational step for all employees and implementation teams to understand workplace psychosocial factors.

Delivery

What is the course delivery format?

Our training consists of interactive, live virtual sessions led by MHCC-certified facilitators. We focus on practical application, real-world case studies, and scenario-based activities.
