Mental health Connect is the next level of care for your employees
The last few years have brought about a major shift in the openness of conversations about mental health – especially in the workplace. As more and more employees in Canada are comfortable discussing and sharing their mental health struggles, it’s time to do even more.
Mental Health Connect by EHN Canada works to transform the conversation into action. How? By offering the tools you and your employees need to identify mental health struggles and direct access to treatment, while also working to prevent and treat symptoms.
Mental Health Connect is :
SCALEABLE
Customize your coverage to the size and needs of your employees.
CONFIDENTIAL
Employees can trust that their private details are not shared outside of managers and HR professionals.
FOCUS ON PREVENTION
Our goal is to help employees before their symptoms become severe.
These organizations already use Mental Health Connect for healthier, happier, and more productive employees.
How can mental health connect help your organization
How does Mental Health Connect Work?
Your organization may already offer an Employee Assistance Program (or EAP), which is a great step towards employee wellbeing. Mental Health Connect is the next step for those who need more care. Mental Health Connect includes:
TREATMENT OPTIONS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
Does an employee require more help? Mental Health Connect includes access to our virtual programs, providing evidence-based treatment – virtually – so they can continue to work while they work on their mental health.
TOOLS & RESOURCES
There are ways your organization can help foster a healthy and happy workplace, which can in turn reduce depression and anxiety. Mental Health Connect provides the tools and resources to get you started.
EDUCATION
How can you talk to your employees about mental health? HR and supervisors will learn the skills they need to sensitively approach employees who maybe be struggling and talk about treatment options.
EMPLOYEE SELF-ASSESSMENT
How can an employee know if they are struggling with a mental health disorder? Our self-assessment is a good place to start, followed by a diagnosis from a doctor.
How is Mental Health Connect Different from EAP?
If your organization already offers Employee Assistance Programs (or EAPs), that’s a great start. For most employees, it can provide the care and help they need with minor systems of mental health disorders. But others may need more intensive care. This is where Mental Health Connect comes in.
