Canadian Mental Health Amid COVID-19: Insights and Strategies

The overall mental health of Canadians continues to decline, with many experiencing increased anxiety, feelings of isolation, and eroding relationships with their peers, according to the latest Mental Health Index report from Life Works.
Feeling down, anxious, or isolated? You're not alone. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has hit Canadians hard, leading to a significant rise in depression and anxiety. In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi sits down with Paula Allen, Senior Vice President of Research and Total Wellness at Life Works, to unpack the latest findings from their Mental Health Index report. Paula reveals that many managers are struggling more than ever, feeling overwhelmed and even in crisis.
She also touches on the growing distrust among coworkers in virtual work environments. But it's not all doom and gloom. Paula shares practical strategies for managing mental health, emphasizing the importance of seeking help through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) or other mental health services. Whether you're a manager feeling the weight of responsibility or just trying to get through another day in this pandemic, this episode offers valuable insights and coping mechanisms.
