WSH is committed to addressing barriers to
recovery often faced by working Canadians with
mental health and substance use problems,
such as stigma, reluctance to seek treatment,
inadequate “function-focused” treatment and
limited support with transitions to return to work.

services as well as partner with family physicians
for health monitoring to improve outcomes.

employers to further the depression research
agenda to improve treatment effectiveness as well
