Psychologically Healthy Workplace Program Press Room

 
The Psychologically Healthy Workplace Program (PHWP) is a collaborative effort between the American Psychological Association and the APA Practice Organization, designed to educate the employer community about the link between employee health and well-being and organizational performance. The PHWP includes APA’s Psychologically Healthy Workplace Awards, a variety of APA Practice Organization resources, including PHWP Web content, e-newsletter, podcast and blog, and support of local programs currently implemented by 56 state, provincial and territorial psychological associations as a mechanism for driving grassroots change in local business communities. Collectively, these associations have honored more than 450 organizations across North America.

Organizations interested in learning more about creating a psychologically healthy workplace or applying for an award in their state, province or territory can visit the Psychologically Healthy Workplace Program website.
