After a lot of hard work, we’re excited to be launching our pilot training session for Show Up for Safer Workplaces!
Show Up is an innovative new program that will create safer, healthier, and more productive workplaces throughout the construction sector, by giving workers and employers the practical tools to address urgent psychological safety hazards—including addressing mental health and addiction, suicide prevention, and bullying and harassment.
Show Up is designed as a four-day comprehensive training program that can help people recognize and support mental health and substance use concerns, prevent toxic workplace culture, and become active partners in creating healthier and more stable work environments.
Topics covered will include psychological safety, mental health first aid and suicide awareness, substance use, and bullying, harassment and discrimination—including providing participants with strategies and resources they can take back to their jobsites that will help build more respectful, stable and healthier workplaces. In addition to the more fulsome training and take-away tools, participants will also attain a certificate in Mental Health First Aid, as developed and recognized by the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
We invite you to get in on our free pilot training sessions, offered on:
– September 23-26, in Burnaby
– October 27-30, in downtown Vancouver
– November 25-28, in Burnaby
Not in the Lower Mainland? We’ll be adding new dates and locations for 2026 soon!
