Mental Health Crisis

The CII-CSRA joint venture in the first phase worked on identifying work-related stressors with neurological/clinical evidence on negative impact to mental health and the team also determined the key outcomes of success we should measure from any EAP service. Using peer-reviewed literature and field-data, the team completed its work on what negative factors in the workplace need to be addressed and how we measure the success of any mental health intervention in the workplace. The second phase of the project sought to design and test interventions to improve workplace wellness thereby reducing the likelihood of the workplace triggering or exacerbating mental health issues among workers.
