Psychosocial safety

Psychosocial safety refers to the overall mental and emotional well-being of individuals in their social environments, particularly in workplaces or communities. It involves creating an atmosphere where people feel safe, respected, and valued, enabling them to express themselves without fear of negative consequences. Prioritizing psychosocial safety means addressing issues like stress, bullying, or discrimination, which can negatively impact mental health. When an environment is psychologically safe, it fosters better collaboration, productivity, and overall satisfaction, promoting healthier relationships and improved performance among individuals.
