How is WeCARE™ different from getting clinical psychological help?
WeCARE™ is a complement to professional clinical solutions, not a substitute. The idea is to show one of your greatest resources, your people, how to intervene before little problems become bigger ones.
By teaching employees to demonstrate care for each other early on, your workplace can avoid the costly consequences of more serious clinical illness for your teams.
One solution, many benefits
Helps keep small problems from becoming bigger
Short, easy, cost effective and flexible learning toolkit
Leverages existing resources by crowdsourcing human benevolence
Actually changes behaviour; it’s not just theory.
Accessible and useful for ALL employees, not just those who are struggling
Uses simple, non-clinical language
The WeCARE™ program reverses this harmful trend by empowering all people to reach out and offer support.
94% of employees felt more confident they could help a colleague in distress after completing this program.
The ICARE Framework (COEUR in French) is a central part of the WeCARE™ program.
The framework is just one example of the many helpful resources included with the program.

“The problem with traditional workplace mental health programs is that they place the burden of reaching out for help on those who are unwell.”
