in the summer of 2017, the superior mental wellness @ work project asked the community to portray their mental health at work through creative photography.

real images and stories were submitted by real people who bravely and honestly answered two questions:

  • how do you really feel at work?
  • how do you take care of your mental health at work?

this exhibit features a collection of photos and captions selected from the submissions received. each one is unique but collectively, they shed light on the reality of mental health in the workplace. the goals of the campaign are to reduce the stigma associated with talking about employee mental health and to inspire positive change towards healthy workplaces for everyone!

check out some of the entries received in the video below.

***the get real photovoice campaign is a project of the superior mental wellness @ work advisory group. their mission is to create workplace environments that reduce psychological hazards and maintain positive mental health for employees in thunder bay and district.
