How do I establish a CWHS Program that supports mental health?

To develop and maintain your Comprehensive Workplace Health & Safety Program and the continual improvement process for your organization:

• Lead (management leadership and commitment)
• Plan (organize)
• Do (implement)
• Check (evaluate)
• Act (improve)

For example, the steps for your workplace could include:

1. Obtain Management Support - In order to begin the process of healthy workplace planning, all levels of the organization must support the concept
2. Establish a Healthy Workplace Committee -- Get staff involved
3. Conduct a Situational Assessment -- Get to the root of the problem
4. Develop a Healthy Workplace Plan -- Plan what to do with situational assessment results
5. Develop a Program Plan (detailed work plan) and Evaluation Plan
6. Confirm Management Support -- to implement the workplace mental health promotion plan
7. Implement the Plan -- put the proposed program into practice
8. Evaluate your CWHS Program's Efforts
9. Continuously improve your CWHS Program based on the results of your evaluations
