Join us for our monthly Employee Wellbeing Forum at 2pm Thursday 21 July, for a discussion about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
The Forum will be presented by Dee Chopra, registered psychologist, EMDR practitioner, clinical psychology registrar and a Consultant with Converge International, our Employee Assistance Program provider.
SAD is a type of depression that is related to the changes in seasons and can occur during the winter months causing feelings of sadness, negativity and dread. During her presentation, Dee will discuss the symptoms of SAD, why we experience it, and how we can support ourselves and others around us to work towards better wellbeing.
