Life Happens: Mental Health in the Workplace Wednesday, October 1, 2008 10 am - 2 pm Crowne Plaza Hotel, 14811 Kruse Oaks Drive, Lake Oswego Map

Thanks to all who participated in this mini conference brought to you by:

Depression, Alcohol or Drug Dependence, Aging Parents, Erratic Teenagers ... which issues are draining the energy of your employees and affecting the productivity of your organization?

Balancing "work life" and "personal life" is a complicated task – there’s simply no way to drop what life brings us when we walk through the office door. Employers know that productivity in the workplace requires employees who are healthy, both physically and mentally.

What are proven approaches employers can utilize to best support employees and their dependents struggling with personal issues? What is most cost effective? Are the benefits you offer the right ones for your workforce?

At this mini conference organized by the Oregon Coalition of Health Care Purchasers and Oregon Health Forum, providers, community health experts and purchasers will hear about effective benefits and how to communicate with employees struggling with these issues.
