About this glossary

Since the publication of the Workplace mental health glossary in 2015, the public service of Canada has put forward several initiatives in its efforts to create a healthy work environment and promote the well-being of its employees. For example, it adopted the Federal Public Service Workplace Mental Health Strategy in 2016, and the first Office of the Ombudsman for Mental Health was established at Public Services and Procurement Canada in 2017. The updated version of this glossary takes into account the terminology related to these new initiatives. It contains 337 concepts, as well as definitions and explanatory notes to help with using the terminology in the correct context.

Revised in March 2018.
