  • Psych Health & Safety Canada acknowledges the traditional land that we have recorded this podcast on; Nova Scotia, the territory of the Mi’kmaq people. We pay our respects to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Indigenous First Nations people across Turtle Island and Canada. We recognize and acknowledge that we are all treaty people. Welcome to the Psych Health & Safety Canada Podcast! In a complex and ambiguous world, understanding and managing the impact of work-related stressors on psychological and mental health and organizational results is becoming an essential part of a sustainable, healthy way-to-do-business. Host Kim MacDonald and her guests will bring you the latest information in PH&S and evidence-based prevention, protection and intervention. You will hear stories and case studies that help you lead, support and participate in a more psychologically-safe and healthy work-world.

  • Psychological health and safety can be "No cost/low cost” - with Kevin Mooney

    Psychological health and safety can be "No cost/low cost” - with Kevin Mooney
    Feb 26 2024
    In this episode Ian speaks with Kevin Mooney, Vice President of Prevention and Employer Services with the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board. Kevin highlights different sources of motivation for companies to take serious action on safety. Serious incidents — fatalities, psychological injuries, and prolonged workplace absence — represent high costs for organizations and Kevin believes prevention efforts are on the right track with raising awareness and demonstrating low cost wins. The WorkSafe Saskatchewan Psychological Health and Safety Resource Centre (https://www.worksafesask.ca/resources/psych-health-safety-resource-centre/workplace-psychological-health-and-safety/) and 7 Step Psychological Health and Safety Road map (https://www.worksafesask.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Psychological-Health-Safety-PHS-Roadmap.pdf) are accessible methods to increase awareness and soon they hope to share the results of pilot projects in local small businesses that demonstrate a simple no cost/low cost approach to identifying and taking action on workplace psychosocial hazards and regular worker feedback. You can follow Kevin on LinkedIn (https://linkedin.com/in/kevinmooney76).

  • Beyond Silence: A Deep Dive into Workplace Mental Health - with Dr. Sandra Moll

    Beyond Silence: A Deep Dive into Workplace Mental Health - with Dr. Sandra Moll
    Feb 12 2024
    In this episode Ian speaks with Dr. Sandra Moll and they discuss why and how the peer support apps PeerOnCall (https://www.oncallapp.ca/) and Beyond Silence (https://www.beyondsilence.ca/) can provide game-changing early intervention for public safety personnel and healthcare workers. Early intervention can prevent a significant degree of harm and suffering. Sandra describes the design, implementation, and function of the apps. Currently the apps are in a research phase where they are researching "what works for whom in what context" to optimize efforts. In the podcast we review how peer support fits in the continuum of workplace mental health recommended by the WHO and why apps and the real people they connect can have a great impact. Peer support is one of many tools and having the right service at the right time can be critical to obtaining early support. PeerOnCall evaluation research was funded by Movember, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Beyond Silence research was funded by CIHR and PHAC. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of the Government of Canada.
