Posting from a WorkAbility Partner!

I was thrilled to represent B Local Ontario on their webinar yesterday, cohosted with Graham Engel and Lucie Mabadi from Youth Employment Services YES, who took us through their practical and inspiring Mental Health for Leaders workshop, breaking down the stigma and providing tools and techniques for building more inclusive working environments.

This powerful yet practical webinar provided simple actions that can be taken by leaders and peers to build better workplaces.
