Workplace Antistigma Programs at the Mental Health Commission of Canada: Part 2. Lessons Learned.

This article describes the lessons learned from Opening Minds' research and programming initiatives in the workplace target group and details some of the most valuable learnings from collaborating with workplace partners. These insights range from issues such as the recruitment of potential partners to the implementation of evaluation in the workplace. The lessons learned described here are not intended as the optimal ways of developing partnerships or conducting research in a workplace setting but are intended to highlight some of our experiences in implementing antistigma programming. These experiences are provided so that those who are in the same situation can draw from our learnings to make their efforts more efficient. To conclude, we discuss some of our thoughts in which the implementation of workplace mental illness stigma reduction programming should work towards in the future.
