The By Health for Health Collaborative of Canada, led in partnership with the Mental Health Commission of Canada and HealthCareCAN, has a vision for healthcare workplaces to be leaders and role models in providing psychologically healthy and safe work environments for all Canadians. The Declaration of Commitment to Psychological Health and Safety in Healthcare is a public commitment from health organizations to show that they value the psychological health and safety of their staff and commit to taking action to improving their work environments.
As signatories of the Declaration of Commitment to Psychological Health and Safety in Healthcare in 2017, CSMLS will continue to demonstrate our commitment to:
- Taking action in alignment with the principles of the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace;
- Recognize the value of our staff’s psychological health and safety and its interdependence with patient safety; and that creating a psychologically safe work environment benefits both patients and staff;
- Cultivate a workplace culture that respects our staff’s needs including, but not limited to, their psychological health and safety; and,
- Be leaders and champions for advancing workplace psychological health and safety.
