CMHA Hamilton is partnering with McMaster to enhance workplace mental health, specifically, to develop improved supports for frontline care workers.
Led by Dr. Diana Singh, the team will use evidence-based research to assist in the creation of workplace resources and strategies designed to promote emotional resiliency among community care professionals.
Broad Objectives:
- Examine the broader social context in which socioemotional stressors arise during client care delivery.
- Design a standardized social support and skills building program for emotionally challenging/laborious work environments. A pilot study of the new program will be conducted with CMHA Hamilton’s front line staff.
