Join colleagues from across Ontario on October 27–28, 2026 in downtown Toronto for Sharing Impact: Advancing Workplace Wellness in Health Care, a two-day conference hosted by CMHA Ontario’s Your Health Space program. Held during Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month, this event brings together health care workers, leaders, and system partners to share practical strategies, lessons learned and real-world examples that are helping to strengthen workplace wellness across the province. Through presentations, panels, and interactive sessions, participants will explore how wellness initiatives can help reduce chronic workplace stress, support recruitment and retention and improve organizational and system performance.
Developed and delivered by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), Ontario Division, and funded by Ontario’s Ministry of Health, Your Health Space (YHS) has supported health care workplaces across the province since 2022. The program is offered at no cost to health care organizations and aims to strengthen workforce mental health, psychological health and safety as well as retention across Ontario’s health system.
Healthcare providers are highly educated and bring dedication to their work. But an unknown number of providers are burdened by an exaggerated sense of shame about their work and about themselves.

Healthcare employees remain one of the most depleted and overworked employee populations to date. Solutions tend to target the individual level with wellness programs, resilience training and mindfulness apps, yet burnout rates keep climbing.
