TWM has been shown to improve mental health literacy, lower stigma, and increase help-seeking among employees and managers. It equips participants to recognise changes in themselves and others, have supportive conversations, and create psychologically safe workplace cultures.
Can organisations deliver both MHFA and TWM?
Yes. Many organisations integrate both programs – Canada’s Opening Minds, a division of the Mental Health Commission of Canada – successfully deliver both programs with uptake from workplaces across both.
MHFA builds the capability to support others, while TWM embeds a culture of openness, self-awareness, and prevention.
Together, they form a complete framework across the mental health continuum for mental health promotion and early intervention.
