The Mental Fitness Lab

Whether they have a mental health concern, all employees have mental health to manage. As does improving physical health, positively impacting mental health requires intention. At Howatt HR, we call talking about intentionally impacting mental health mental fitness. This is the intentional action of engaging in prosocial skills that support mental health and help-seeking behaviours in times of need and mitigating the risk of engaging in at-risk coping skills that may appear to be helping in the short term but over the long term can lead to more serious problems. Improved mental fitness leads to improved coping skills.

Howatt HR’s vision for MFL is to provide employees and leaders access to high-quality content designed to support and promote mental health and reduce mental harm. With improved mental health comes resiliency, as well as the ability to better self-advocate. As a leader, there may be nothing better you can do for your direct reports than to take care of your own mental health first.

MFL can help facilitate your personalized mental fitness journey.
