Equitable Life of Canada: Women’s Mental Health and the Benefits Plan

Please join us for this CE-eligible session!

The impact of mental illness in the workplace is significant, and employers are looking for ways to support their employees suffering with mental health issues. But mental illness doesn’t affect all people equally.

For some disorders, there is a greater prevalence and a higher burden of illness for women. This presentation will provide an overview of the clinical research and treatments for several mental health issues, including depression, anxiety and substance abuse disorders and ADHD. The presentation will also explore some practical and meaningful ways that employers can support women who are suffering from these conditions, including plan design and workplace considerations.
