Self-management of mental health at Work - strategies that can be used outside of working hours (Video 2 of 2)

Which strategies can be used outside of work to manage one's own mental health?

With Sophie Meunier, Professor and researcher, psychology department, UQAM
and Camille Roberge, Doctoral (Ph. D. R/I) student, work and organizational psychology, UQAM

Combing through more than 50 strategies identified in their preliminary research results, Professor Meunier and Mrs. Roberge present 6 themes grouping the self-management strategies that emerged as the most popular and effective among participants in order to recharge their batteries and cope better at work the next day.

This initiative is supported by the Chief Scientist of Québec with the Québec Research Funds.
