“Mental illness can affect every aspect of a person’s life, and unfortunately, this is a fact that many people are still unaware of. Attending the mental health first aid course allowed me to see how pervasive the problem can be to those experiencing it and taught me how I can help.”– Site Manager, City & Essex.

At City & Essex, mental health is a priority all year round, and we have furthered our commitment by becoming a gold member of the Workplace Mental Health Charter.

The Workplace Mental Health Charter is a social movement to change how people think and act about mental health challenges. We are excited to work with them to provide the tools to deliver lasting change and keep the important conversations going.
