Psychological health at work and psychosocial risk prevention
Preventing and supporting psychological health in the workplace
Concrete impacts on individuals and organizational performance
In Quebec, organizations are increasingly facing issues related to workplace stress, burnout, psychological harassment, and the prevention of psychosocial risks.
Psychological health at work does not rely solely on individuals. It is closely linked towork organization, management practices , and the environment in which people operate on a daily basis.
Our approach focuses on a comprehensive assessment of individual, collective, and organizational issues, taking into account employer responsibilities and the realities of each workplace.
This area includes services aimed at:
- preventing, identifying, and reducing psychosocial risks within theorganization;
- supporting individuals when the impact of work on psychological health becomes significant.
In Quebec, organizations are increasingly being called upon to address issues of workplace stress, burnout, and the prevention of psychosocial risks, particularly in relation to their health and safety responsibilities.
These issues have real impacts, both on individuals and on the functioning of teams and organizations.
Prevention and management of psychosocial risks (PSR)
Because proactive prevention is more sustainable than reactive measures
Psychosocial risks, such as work overload, lack of recognition, role ambiguity, interpersonal tension, certain situations of psychological harassment, or lack of support, have real impacts on the psychological health, engagement, and performance of teams.
In the Quebec context, particularly in light of the obligations under Bill 27, organizations are being called upon to adopt a more structured and preventive approach to psychological health in the workplace.
We support organizations in:
- identifying psychosocial risks and risk factors;
- analyzing their impact on individuals and teams;
- identifying situations that may contribute to a deteriorating work climate or the emergence of harassment;
- implementing primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention measures;
- integrating management practices that promote psychological health.
Let’s work together to identify approaches tailored to your company to support healthy, sustainable, and responsible work environments, while reducing human, organizational, and legal risks.
Individual psychological support related to work
When your psychological health is affected by your job
When the impact of work on psychological health becomes significant, individual support may be necessary.
The psychological support provided is professional, confidential, and rigorous, and is designed to assist individuals experiencing:
- professional burnout or chronic overload;
- work-related psychological distress;
- difficulty adapting to a demanding organizational environment;
- conflict or psychological harassment in the workplace;
- the emotional impact of workplace events.
Without separating the individual from their personal context, this support aims to:
- foster an understanding of the underlying mechanisms;
- develop healthier coping strategies;
- restore psychological balance.
Is what I am experiencing at work normal, or does it require intervention?
Supporting work-related psychological health requires an accurate assessment of the respective responsibilities of the organization and the individuals. Our approach aims to distinguish between normal experiences and those that truly require intervention, while remaining attentive to the real impact of work on personal health.
We intervene with rigor, discernment, and a sense of responsibility to support psychological health, organizational capacity, and the sustainability of work environments.
Our interventions are tailored to the realities of Quebec organizations, taking into account the regulatory frameworks and specific challenges of local workplaces.
Let’s discuss your situation.
Every situation deserves a nuanced assessment and a tailored response.
