The “Mental Health Promotion and Intervention in Occupational Settings” project featured in the European Alliance Against Depression (EAAD)‘s press release for World Mental Health Day (10 Oct 2019), which was devoted to Suicide Prevention.
The project aims to improve the care of depression among employees and to reduce suicidal behaviour by developing, implementing and evaluating various (online) interventions and training materials. These interventions, designed to address a range of mental health difficulties and psychiatric conditions (such as depression, anxiety disorders, stress-related symptoms), will be targeted at and delivered to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the areas of construction, healthcare and ICT.
EAAD’s President, Prof Dr Ulrich Hegerl, also gave an interview to a German radio station, highlighting the importance of mental health in the workplace.
