Recently, I attended a workshop offered by Mental Health Works. The workshop entitled Issues and Solutions: Mental Health in the Workplace, helped the attendees understand how remaining productive can help de-stress employees, allowed us to listen to real people with mental health problems talk about their working lives, and consider practical strategies. The workshop taught the attendees how to respectfully address mental health issues in the workplace. For those of you who did not get a chance to attend, there is a particular resource that you might want to take a look at. The resource is called Working Through It, it is a compilation of “stories of reclaiming well-being at work, off work, and returning to work.” The full online version of the above resource can be found at: www.gwlcentreformentalhealth.com/wti From the Mental Health Works website: An innovative resource for people who are feeling hopeless or overwhelmed with work or life. With practical insights from people who have worked through it to feel better and cope more effectively. Work Through It offers: - Practical strategies to assist in coping and surviving through tough times - An understanding of the struggle and how to overcome it - Professionals offering their expertise on navigating existing systems - Printable resources that offer straightforward and practical approaches Posted by: suhujitha on 2009-10-09 11:18:25 Subscribe to the feed Direct Link to this post Next post: Dopamine impacts your willingness to work 2012-05-12 10:04:13 Other posts tagged mental health, health and income, stress: · [Comparing suffering may stop people seeking help for depression and anxiety] · [Jealousy and envy at work are different in men and women] · [Taking a vacation from email decrease stress, increase concentration] · [The psychological risks of health staff working at the ICU and strategies to prevent them] · [People with balanced time perspective more likely to call themselves content] · [Many employee assistance programs lack a comprehensive approach to addressing intimate partner violence] · [Adults experiencing mental illness have higher rates of certain chronic physical illnesses] · [Emergency dispatchers suffer from symptoms of PTSD, study reveals] · [Study finds those who feel they must stick with employer become more emotionally exhausted] · [Benefits of taking Fido to work may not be far-fetched] · [Mental health workers: the overlooked victims of 9/11] Don't forget: there is a search box on every page!
