Armchair Discussion on Improving Mental Health in the Workplace

Some Joint Learning Program employees joined by webcast to other Public Service colleagues to participate last May 7 to a Canada School of Public Service Armchair Discussion. The topic was improving mental health in the workplace.

Do you know what factors can contribute to the emergence of mental health problems? What about the impact of factors external to the workplace?  These were some of the fundamental questions that were tackled by the SALVEO study on improving mental health in the workplace.

Pierre Durand, Co-Director of the study and professor at the Université de Montréal School of Industrial Relations, talked about the study, its results and the advances it may enable, especially in detecting mental health problems and taking action in the workplace.
