The Solutions
Using our professional and personal experiences, iDwDi will bring the knowledge, perspective, training tools, and professional education your organization needs to reduce the impact of depression in your workplace. When individuals who are depressed receive timely, evidence based treatment, nearly 80% of those individuals report an improvement in their depression. However, due to stigma, a lack of education, feelings of shame, and other barriers it is estimated only 25% of all depressed individuals are getting the care they need. This lack of care is costing your business money and it is also causing needless suffering for millions.
Our Programs
Speaking and Seminars – Many companies are unsure of how to begin to address the issue of depression in the workplace. iDwDi has several speakers available to come to your organization and introduce the topic of depression for you. Whether you are looking for a clinical presentation about depression or you want to have others who have struggled with depression while trying to work we can meet your needs.
“Hearing firsthand that I wasn’t alone and that there is help out there is what moved me toward taking action to get better.”
Customized Online Training for Managers – This online training system allows managers to login to a private account to answer questions about how they currently feel about depression in the workplace and to learn how to identify and manage employees who might be depressed. Instead of dealing with years of an employee working at 40% capacity, taking several personal days each month and making the manager's job more difficult - the Manager can learn how to work with that employee so he or she becomes a solid, productive member of the team...making the manager's job easier!
“Taking the time to train our managers to identify depression was an important investment for our organization.”
Customized Online Training for Employees – This online training system allows all employees to login to a private account to learn more about depression and its treatment. Due to the overwhelming fear of job loss or career problems many depressed individuals are unwilling to discuss their depression. This tool provides the privacy and security they need to learn their options and to be reassured by your company that you want them to get the help they need. This program also provides resources for family members whose loved ones are suffering from depression.
"I didn’t even know I was suffering from depression. I wish I would have had a secure place to get the information I needed and to know that my employer wanted me to get help.”
iDwDi Depression Management System© - This comprehensive program includes the training system for both managers and employees, but provides access to other regularly updated resources for coping with depression. In addition this program includes an onsite evaluation of your workplace culture toward depression, expert consultation to help you maximize the health and wellness benefits you offer your employees, and the iDwDi assurance of ongoing support and guidance as you seek to shift your culture.
“It wasn’t until I really started to think about the various systems in our organization did I realize how many I could influence to improve the care for the people who worked for me.”
