Setting the Stage
The purpose of the Prevention Building Block is to provide the psychologically
safe facilitator with a framework for making decisions about prevention programs
or policies they will engage in to facilitate psychological health and safety.
Prevention is a theme that runs throughout all the building blocks, formally or
informally, with the intention to reduce mental harm and promote mental health.
Employers are encouraged to put as much intention on prevention programming
as they do on reactive programming. The opportunity is to formalize the
integration of prevention-focused policies, programs, and behaviours.
