Topic: The mental health of injured workers with a physically disabling injury
Speaker: Dr. Kathleen Dobson (Institute for Work & Health; Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto
Mental health is often thought of as the presence or absence of a mental health condition such as depression or an anxiety disorder. However, the complete mental health model suggests that mental health is also comprised of one’s level of emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. How does this holistic way of framing mental health help us understand the return-to-work experiences of injured workers? In this presentation, Dr. Kathleen Dobson shares results from a recent study examining various mental health profiles among a group of physically injured workers in Ontario.
