Prioritize Mental Health Inclusion in Your Organization
At its core, mental health inclusion is about creating workplaces where we normalize discussing mental health challenges and work to interrupt the stigma and biases attached to mental health issues. When we do this, we create organizational cultures that are better able to support all team members’ wellness, which can have a direct impact on team contentment, engagement and performance.
We Teach You How to Leverage Inclusive Mental Health Practices
We curate and deliver practical mental health inclusion programming that facilitates a more sophisticated understanding of mental health challenges, builds greater capacity for holding meaningful and inclusive mental health conversations and helps to embed wellness and psychological safety within organizational cultures.

Did You Know?
Neutral language is key when discussing mental health.
One of the biases around mental health, particularly in the U.S. and Canada, is that we presume that we can label others — that it’s okay for us to choose the label we then apply to others. We foreground our perceptions and judgments over people’s personal preferences on how they want to be referred to and how they want to identify.
One of the best ways that we can foreground the person and not their illness, as well as recognize who the expert is and who has the most knowledge around their own mental health, is the very neutral language around experience.
So for example, rather than saying, “Neena has depression,” instead we might say, “Neena is a person with lived experience of depression.” The word “experience” can be really powerful.
All of bci’s mental health inclusion training can be offered in a webinar or virtual workshop format.
