Spots Still Available for the Working Mind For the Trades

IHSA has partnered with Opening Minds, a division of the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) to pilot a new training program designed to reduce stigma surrounding mental illness in trade-sector workplaces.

The courses have been adapted for trades sectors from Opening Minds' The Working Mind, an evidence-based learning program developed to help Ontario workplaces better understand mental illness and foster psychologically healthy and safe working environments.

Take Steps For Life across Ontario

Every year in Canada, close to 1,000 workers are killed on the job, or die as a result of a work-related injury or illness. Every one of those families has a story about their loved one. Add to that the thousands who are injured on the job each year, whose stories have just taken a sudden plot twist.

Steps for Life offers a chance to tell those stories and reveal the faces and lives behind the statistics. 

IHSA is sponsoring six different walk locations in 2025 and we are currently recruiting walkers, and donations for the various walk locations.
