The well-being of our people at EllisDon will always be our top priority, especially with the mental health impacts of the ongoing pandemic. With World Mental Health Day coming up on October 10, we want to share some of the resources our employees have access to year-round to educate themselves on mental health and to find resources to help them manage during difficult times. With this year’s theme in mind, “Mental health care for all: Let’s make it a reality,” we encourage everyone to explore the credible mental health information and programs below from our People & Culture team:

• Mental Health at Work Resource (compliments of Canada Life). This includes information, tools and strategies to care for your mental health.
• Take a look at this Wellness Awareness Program Calendar (compliments of Canada Life). Throughout the year they have various workshops, articles, and virtual events that can help you manage and/or better understand your mental health.

If you, or someone you know might be in need of some assistance, please ask for help. Whatever your story, you are not alone.
