The conference: How’s it going?
Mental illness can strike anyone, any time. In spite of how common it is, it remains taboo: lots of people refuse to talk about their illness and half of the people who suffer from mental illness do not seek help for their problem. (RRSSS Montréal-Centre, 2001)
Furthermore, the symptoms are rarely associated with a mental disorder. We prefer to put these problems down to fatigue, worry, personality, etc. In the mean time, sick people continue to suffer and are less productive at work because of their illness. As this can result in major losses for companies, it is even more crucial to identify signs of mental illness early to respond rapidly.
How’s it going?, which is presented by a health care professional, answers real questions and uses simple, concrete examples to equip participants.
CONTENT OF THE SEMINAR:
The conference: Me stressed? No way!
The conference about anxiety disorders responds to a need raised by the program’s clients. Less known than depression, anxiety has as much of an impact on society: repeated absences, presenteeism (the employee is at work, but he or she is not very effective), etc.
Anxiety is considered pathological when it is a disproportionate reaction to a situation, when it disrupts the normal course of a affected person’s life or when it persists for no apparent reason.
