Event details
Long-term sickness absence results in significant costs to individuals, their employers and society at large.
Simon Gilbody, founder of the Behavioural Therapeutics Lab at the University of York, and clinical psychologist Dean McMillan discuss a toolkit to help those experiencing long-term sickness absence back into work. From planning ahead to introduce positive reinforcement and address avoidance, to the need for employers to critically examine the organisation’s environment and culture, they'll reveal what works and what is cost effective in tackling depression and anxiety.
Join Simon and Dean, leaders in the field of mental health interventions, in conversation with journalist Isabel Berwick, who leads the Financial Times' Working It brand.
