Workplace Services
Overview of Services
The Canadian Institute of Workplace Bullying Resources (CIWBR) offers all organizations, professions, and industries, a specialized service to address negative, conflictual, and destructive employee behaviors and actions that give rise to psychological distress and harm to others. We specialize in programs for employers, leaders, and individual employees through our Respectful Workplace Clinic. This program focuses on “Trauma Informed Prevention and Intervention” techniques as key in repairing and revitalizing a psychologically healthy workplace culture. CIWHV offers a variety of restorative, repair, and recovery program options. We can function as consultants, and trainers, coaches, therapists, and have a strong network of various worldwide support services. Each case is unique, so our services will be customized.
