COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)
& THE WORKPLACE

Recovery and getting back to real life often means going back to work.

SPEAKER: 
Dr. Joti Samra, R. Psych.
Adjunct Professor & Scientist
SFU Faculty of Health Sciences
 
Dr. Samra conducts research in mental health and addiction as they pertain to the workplace.

Psychological health conditions, particularly depression, have a great impact on workers and

workplaces and affect worker efficiency, morale and relationships with colleagues and

customers. These concerns are true for all organizations and employees.

The goals of the session are to:

·        Define psychological health

·        Increase awareness of the nature of low mood and depression and understand their impact in the workplace

·        Learn about Antidepressant Skills @ Work, a free, confidential, evidence-based resource to help individuals manage stress, depression and low mood
