Cancelled - Not Myself Today Orientation: Supporting a Mentally Healthy Workplace
Date and Time
Location
UC 442
Details
In 2022 the University of Guelph is launched the Not Myself Today (NMT) initiative. NMT is an evidence-based initiative – offered by CMHA – that supports workplace mental health. Originating in the Mental Health Commission of Canada, Not Myself Today aligns with the National Standard of Psychological Health and Safety and has three main goals:
- build greater awareness of the importance of mental health in the workplace;
- reduce stigma; and
- foster a safe and supportive workplace culture.
NMT includes access to an online platform that provides resources, guidance, and support for any employee on how to take evidence-informed action to support workplace psychological health and safety. NMT is intuitive with guides to facilitate action and activities including tips for embedding more mental health conversations in the workplace.

About the Event
The following orientation is geared towards employees and leaders who wish to familiarize themselves with the Not Myself Today platform and the resources available to support a mentally healthy workplace. Physical Not Myself Today materials (such as mood buttons) will be available for attendees to take back to their workspace to support with implementing the initiative. If there is not enough materials for all attendees, a sign up sheet will be provided to receive materials later on.
Register now to begin normalizing conversations around mental health in the workplace! This orientation will be in-person and we are limited to the capacity of the space, so make sure to register early!
