This World Mental Health Day, Oct. 10, 2024, join Canada Life, Workplace Strategies for Mental Health and Teladoc Health Canada for an insightful webinar on the relationship between physical and mental health.


Mariana Bockarova, PhD from Teladoc Health and Canada Life’s Organizational Health Consultants will lead this webinar to help you learn how stress, anxiety and depression impact our minds and bodies. They’ll talk about the stages of stress response and how to recognize the physical signs of stress as well as potential symptoms of anxiety and depression.


This webinar aims to put emphasis on the importance of a holistic approach to health and wellness and all the ways that your mind and body are interconnected. You’ll leave with practical tips to help you cope, overcome unhelpful thinking styles and how to support others to do the same.


This webinar will be in English but French interpretation, slides and resource links will be available. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions related to the topic. This event will be recorded for future reference or just in case you can’t watch live. Find it on the Workplace Strategies for Mental Health YouTube page.
