October is Depression Awareness Month and EAP Newsletter

October 1, 2024

Depression is a serious but treatable disorder that affects millions of people, from young to old and from all walks of life. Start by learning all you can about depression and how to best talk about it with your friend or family member. Deer Oaks EAP is here to support you 24/7/365 and can help you or a loved one cope with depression symptoms; overcome negative thoughts; and regain energy, optimism, and enjoyment of life.

In this month’s EAP Newsletter, the following topics are discussed:

  • Online Seminar: Healthy Minds at Work
    • Silence and stigma have long suppressed open discussions about mental health in the workplace, causing many to suffer in solitude. Breaking this silence is key to crafting supportive workspaces that promote employee engagement and resilience. Learn how to utilize effective coping strategies for resilience when faced with workplace challenges, pressures, and uncertainties.
    • Available on-demand starting October 10th.
  • Recognize and Appreciate Your Work Colleagues
  • Managing Political Anxiety
  • Digital Awareness for Parents
