The donation was presented to the organization yesterday on World Mental Health Day. The financial support will be used to fund studentships for research into workplace mental health.\n \n \n \"We are pleased to actively contribute to the development of the next generation of researchers who will focus on mental health issues in the workplace, a cause that is near and dear to our hearts,\" said\n \n Denis Ricard\n \n , iA Financial Group President and Chief Executive Officer.\n \n \n The company has long been proactive in the mental health area and has set up a network of mental health ambassadors. The network consists of 180 employees who have received training by the Mental Health Commission of\n \n Canada\n \n to serve as ambassadors in support of their coworkers' mental health. Their role is similar to that of first aid responders, who can provide first aid and perform CPR. The ambassadors have been trained to act quickly and ensure coworkers are safe until specialists can take over.\n \n \n iA's mental health ambassadors are dedicated to the mental well-being and equilibrium of their work teams and coworkers. They are available to answer questions about iA's health programs and resources, listen without judgment, give coworkers guidance to find support and professional help and encourage them to take the next steps. Their caring presence contributes significantly to a healthy work environment where people feel listened to and supported.\n \n \n Over the past two years, iA Financial Group has also donated\n \n $1.3 million\n \n to mental health organizations.\n \n \n About iA Financial Group\n \n \n iA Financial Group is one of the largest insurance and wealth management groups in\n \n Canada\n \n , with oper...
