Mark Wilson helped bring the Buddy Up Program to Finning Canada
A Prince George man and the company he works for was recently awarded for their efforts to promote men’s mental health at work.
“It was Christmas 2021 and I had just got back to work after my weeks off, and my youngest daughter said that we haven’t spent much time together and that kind of really hit me hard,” said Wilson. “We talked about experiences. Like I'm diagnosed with PTSD. I'm ex-military so I have stories and things. I mean, it just opened a whole conversation within the group. It was really cool to see actually.”
“We wanted to create something that resonated. Something that was approachable for individuals, and we wanted to create something for men, by men, as well,” said Akash Asif, strategy and operations director, from the Centre for Suicide Prevention. Wilson initially introduced Buddy Up to his team in the Alberta oil sands region but has since transferred to Prince George and introduced it to his new team.
