The Healthy Work Campaign is more than an online public health campaign. We’re a movement that strives to bring ideas and people with different perspectives and strengths together. Visit this page to keep tabs on our events—those we attend, present at, or host, as well as those of our partners.
In February, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Total Worker Health® program recorded their “How Work Can Impact Mental Health and What Leaders Can Do“ webinar, which featured discussions on work, mental health, and leadership.
Speakers, including Dr. Leslie Hammer of the Oregon Healthy Workforce Center and Dr. Marie-Anne Rosemberg from the University of Michigan, presented on the connections between our mental health and working conditions, along with ways leaders can prevent and address mental health challenges.
Free continuing education is available for this activity. Visit the TWH Webinar Series to find more recordings, and learn about how to get continuing education credits.

- Combined with technical occupational safety and health workshops, such as investigation of workplace tragedies, workers’ compensation legal support, heat/climate related hazards, and of course, the latest on COVID-19 science and protections.”
