Work & Career Counselling
What Is Work Place Mental Health?
With 30% of disability claims in Canada being related to mental health problems and illness, it is incredibly vital that individuals take control of their well-being and create a mentally-healthy workplace to boost productivity and enjoyment in the workplace.
There are various issues that can disrupt the mental well-being of an individual in the work place, including conflicts with colleagues, superiors creating a toxic work environment, feeling burnt out, and feelings of job insecurity. The team at Foundations are highly experienced and expertly trained Clinical Counsellors in helping individuals navigate through difficult times in the work place, and even provide assistance during job changes and career transitions.
How Can Counselling Help?
Our counsellors are trained to help individuals navigate through issues in the work place that are negatively impacting their mental health. At Foundations, we provide a supportive and safe environment for our clients to develop resiliency and coping skills, and develop sustainable solutions to maintaining a healthy, positive mindset in the work place.
Coping with Job Insecurity is a common theme that our team helps individuals navigate through, especially in the post-Covid world. The most common fear we hear is, “What am I going to do if I lose my job?” At no fault of their own, this constant wave of uncertainty at the top of one’s mind can have a negatively compounding effect on mental wellbeing. We work with individuals on many strategies to help reduce intrusive thoughts, develop resiliency, and create a sense of comfort through planning for the future.
Work Place Conflict Resolution skills development is an important tool for all individuals to have, and something our team excels at. Conflicts amongst colleagues, small or big, can occur for various reasons, but how a conflict is reacted to and dealt with makes all the difference in whether the issue resolves, or whether it becomes a larger problem.
Job/Career Change is a major life transition and can sometimes have unexpectedly greater impacts on our mental health than we anticipate or realize. Our team of Clinical Counsellors are experienced in help provide guidance throughout the entire process from contemplating change to completing a change and adapting to a new environment.
Burnout rates are on the rise as individuals feel the pressure of higher costs of living, being asked to do more for less, and experiencing job insecurity. These long-lasting feelings of stress and mental deterioration can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, loss of motivation and feelings of hopelessness. Working with an experienced Clinical Counsellor is proven to help tremendously in mitigating many of these triggers and symptoms.
