Mental Wellness and Recovery in the Workplace: Challenging Leadership to Redefine Organizational Cu

在社会中，大多数人都试图找到一种可持续和有意义的工作形式。经历过心理健康挑战或精神疾病的人可能会努力维持他们在工作场所的地位-通常不会成功。康复支持社区和工作环境如何影响个人从精神疾病中康复之间存在关系。需要更多地了解和理解这种相互适应的关系。此外，照顾患有精神疾病的人是非常困难和有压力的;通常，它变得如此包容，以至于个人很难注意到他们需要给自己充电。这项研究是萨斯喀彻温省理工学院的精神病护理和计算机研究与技术项目，刷新公司，加拿大心理健康协会萨斯喀彻温省分部。该项目调查工作场所的心理健康和康复之间的关系。它将确定支助性工作场所环境的特点;以工作为基础的教育在工作场所是否具有支助性效果;以及家庭和照顾者所需的社会支助资源。此外，它还将为“刷新健康”应用程序的进一步开发提供信息，该应用程序将采用创新技术，将有心理健康问题的人与支持社区和工作场所康复的社会计划联系起来，并将创建虚拟同伴支持。加拿大心理健康协会将利用这项新技术来扩大其同伴支持计划，以获得持久的利益，这是参与这项研究项目的直接结果。该应用程序还将提供促进虚拟同行支持的能力，作为应对危机的第一步。这将使个人或家庭成员/照顾者在留在工作场所的同时与社区中的同伴支持小组联系。如果经历过急性精神疾病发作或心理健康面临挑战的人知道雇主拥有支持性的工作场所文化，他们就更有可能对自己的康复充满信心。

In society, most people attempt to find a form of work that is sustainable and meaningful. People who experience a mental wellness challenge or a mental illness may struggle to maintain their position in the workplace - often unsuccessfully. There is a relationship between how a recovery-supportive community and work environment impacts an individual's recovery from mental illness. Much more needs to be known and understood about this reciprocal and adaptive relationship. In addition, caring for someone who lives with mental illness is very difficult and stressful; often, it becomes so encompassing that it is difficult for an individual to notice that they need to recharge themselves. The study is a collaboration between the Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Psychiatric Nursing and Computer Studies and Technology program, Refresh Inc., and the Canadian Mental Health Association Saskatchewan Division. The project investigates the relationship between mental wellness and recovery in the workplace. ItF will determine the characteristics of a supportive workplace environment; if work-based education has an effect supportive effect in the workplace; and the social support resources needed by families and caregivers. In addition it will inform the further development of the Refresh Wellness app, which will incorporate innovative technology to connect persons with mental wellness issues to social programs that support recovery in the community and workplace, and will also create virtual peer support. The Canadian Mental Health Association will utilize this new technology to augment its peer support program for lasting benefit as a direct result of participating in this research project. The app will also offer the capability to facilitate virtual peer support as a first step in crisis response. This will allow the individual or family member/caregiver to connect with a peer support group in the community while remaining in the workplace. Individuals who experience acute episodes of mental illness or challenges to their mental wellness are more likely to have a greater sense of confidence in their recovery if they know their employer has a workplace culture that will be supportive.
