Workplace Mental Health

Workplaces

Supporting employee mental health should be easy, affordable, and effective.

Addressing mental health in the workplace can feel daunting without a clear idea of what kind of support your employees need. Companies need to understand the benefits, outcomes, and potential barriers – and have a plan that’s easy to follow, adaptable strategies, and results that are effective.

Our approach to workplace mental health addresses all of these areas – and more – by delivering strategies and solutions from the top down and from the inside out, empowering leaders and teams to grow and maintain strong mental health support from within.

Why are employers addressing mental health in the workplace?

The benefits of integrating mental health support into the workplace are far-reaching. While some benefits are directly quantifiable – such as increased productivity and decreased employee retention costs – others are more systemic and cultural, such as enhanced employee retention and the ability to attract better talent.

Let’s break it down into two main categories:

How to Get Started

Our framework is clear, adaptable, and built for every industry and company size.

1. Consultation

We start with a short conversation to understand your goals and existing supports — such as benefits, EAPs, or wellness programs.
From there, we recommend simple strategies you can implement right away.
Most consultations take under an hour.

2. Engagement

We connect with your team through workshops, surveys, or lunch-and-learns to uncover real needs and barriers.
Each session is led by a Certified Psychological Health & Safety Advisor, ensuring safe and meaningful discussion.

3. The Messenger Matters

We help identify the best people to share your mental health message — whether that’s leadership, peers, or an external facilitator.
We can also train in-house mental health champions or bring a fresh, external voice to support your goals.

4. Strategy Development

VĪV customizes your mental health strategy to fit your culture, size, and industry — providing both short- and long-term solutions that integrate easily with what you already have in place.

5. Training & Education

Forget dry slideshows. Our interactive training sessions are hands-on, engaging, and designed to build awareness, empathy, and leadership confidence.

6. Implementation & Growth

We don’t stop at launch. We help assess outcomes, adjust strategies, and ensure your team stays supported long-term — no Band-Aid fixes, just sustainable results.
