Training in the Workplace

Training in the Workplace

Our training is interactive, allowing for firsthand experiences of skill development. We accomplish this in three primary components of our training which are psychosocial education, skills training and employer training.

Emotional Fitness at Work

Strategies derived from a cognitive-behavioral model are taught in the context of workplace issues.

 
Work stresses contributing to depression + the impact on work function of depressive symptomatology.



Facilitating Return-to-Work Programs since 1991

We have been involved in formalized rehabilitation committees for nearly 30 years primarily consisting of employers, union representatives, and employees. 

Accommodation is designed in collaboration with the client, the physician, the employer, the union and the rehabilitation consultant. This complex process requires a balance of understanding and knowledge from all key players which is necessary to guide the rehabilitation team toward a successful outcome for all parties in the rehabilitation process.

Our training is interactive, allowing for firsthand experiences of skill development.

Testimonials

"In my professional 30-year career, I have not yet met a leader who demonstrates resonant leadership until I got the opportunity to work with Lynn. She is genuine, authentic and a person with high integrity.


 This culminates into an inspiring leader and role model who others want to follow. She models the importance and balance of conducting business while being relationship focused. In her leadership role, she emanates trust and caring for her employees’ growth by supporting their development and encouraging them to take the next steps.


In every opportunity, she finds ways to highlight her employees’ strengths while working towards getting them acknowledged within the organization and community."

“Mental Health related problems are one of the main issues driving disability rates in Canada and worldwide. Lynn facilitated her program to our staff and reviewed cases where mental health issues seemed to be the driving factor and reaming barrier to RTW. Her training was very inspirational and energizing, bringing lots of ideas with both substantial and in-depth knowledge.


Case studies and sharing her experience made the course fully practice-oriented and applicable. The collaborative team management approach always focused on RTW where creative solutions created win-win situations for all participants.”

“Lynn was able to squeeze a two-day presentation into one day and still meet our need to expose as many staff as possible to the prominent issue of mental health in the workplace.


She ran the one-day sessions, back-to-back, for 5 days and maintained her energy and ability to authentically engage the attendees. An experienced practitioner in the field of mental health and a skilled presenter, she was well-received per all of our written feedback summaries and we won’t hesitate to bring her back in the future to present to more staff.”
