Mental Health in the Workplace Online Course

Our workplaces play a larger role in our mental health than we often like to admit. From the stress of shortened timelines to conflicts with coworkers and clients that make us uncomfortable, to the tensions around costs, profits, losses, and job security, it’s safe to say that our work can be a major stressor.
