Launching October 7, 2019! Keep an eye out around campus for Not Myself Today Ambassadors!
We hear about it more and more– the importance of taking care of our mental health. Our mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. And it affects us everywhere, including at work. With that in mind, it is especially important that we take care of our mental health on the job, and that we support our colleagues who may be struggling.
We are excited to launch Not Myself Today®, a mental health initiative presented by the Canadian Mental Health Association that is transforming workplaces at Algonquin College. Not Myself Today gets us talking openly about mental health on our way to creating a psychologically safe work environment.
