The Osgoode Certificate in Workplace Mental Health Law

Creating and maintaining a mentally healthy workplace has never been more important. The management of employee mental health issues has emerged as one of the most difficult and widespread challenges confronting today’s workplaces, and this has been magnified by the impact of COVID-19. A complex network of laws presents a potential minefield of difficulties for employers. Navigating these successfully and keeping the workplace healthy and productive is, in the Commission’s words, ‘simply smart business’. In this exclusively online interactive program, a multidisciplinary faculty will explain the law and best practices, provide you with a unique opportunity to drill down into the key issues that are likely to come across your desk, and to formulate strategies for handling them successfully. You’ll also receive printed materials (including toolkits and precedents) – a resource of ongoing practical value.
