WSPS Mental Harm Prevention Roadmap Year-Two Study
8
Respondents who were at "foundational" and more advanced stages found the
Roadmap helpful. Some responded that it clarified what to do and where to start, even
after years of previous attempts that did not get traction. For others, it confirmed they
were on the right track and reminded them of other aspects to consider. Several
indicated they would use the resource after the research project was completed.
No consistent aspect was highlighted as the most or least useful, indicating that
different organizations benefited from different parts of the program. Some mentioned
the ongoing accountability and contact with WSPS or Howatt HR team member. Some
cited the sessions that built the foundation, such as how to get buy-in. All respondents
mentioned that the content provided by Dr. Howatt, in collaboration with WSPS, was
excellent, clear, helpful, and applicable, and gave them specific steps to create and
implement their plan. Several reported they could not attend all the sessions live and
appreciated the ability to watch the recordings to keep on track.
