The certificate program takes a blended learning approach that includes in-class and web-based components. It is comprised of three modules.

Module 1: Introduction to a Mentally Healthy Workplace, includes both an instructor-led in-class session and web-based components that provide a high level introduction to the topic of mental health in the workplace. It creates awareness of the impact of mental health issues on individuals and the workplace, and serves as the foundation for building knowledge and practical skills throughout the program. It introduces The Mental Health Framework – a five-phase model of best practices for managing mental health in the workplace, namely Prevention, Early Performance Coaching, Recovery, Absence and Return to Work.

Module 2: The Leader’s Role in Managing a Mentally Healthy Workplace, includes both an instructor- led in-class session and web-based components that provide additional knowledge and skills that enhance the leader’s ability to manage through the Framework. Specifically, it focuses on phases 2 to 4 of the Framework: Early Performance Coaching, Recovery, Absence and Return to Work. In this module, leaders also learn about the importance of taking care of themselves and managing their own stress.

Module 3: Promoting a Mentally Healthy Workplace is based on the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace. This module contains a web-based component only, which focuses on the Prevention phase of the Mental Health Framework and explores the leader’s role and scope of influence in promoting mental health in the workplace. Through self-reflection and action planning, leaders are encouraged to apply new skills and knowledge to the workplace.
