Stories of reclaiming well-being at work, off work and returning to work
Working Through It™ is a series of videos designed to speak directly to people struggling with mental health issues. Real people share their experiences of working through times of mental health pressures at work, off work and returning to work, and send these important messages; 1) you are not alone, 2) there are things you can do to reclaim your well-being, and 3) there is hope for a better tomorrow. The great news is that the entire resource is available on the Great-West Life Centre for Mental Health in the Workplace website and is absolutely free. MORE
