Senior and middle class employees of the FCT Health Services Scheme hosted Gede in their office to deliver its Managing Stress in the Workplace Programme. Participants were able to understand different stressors and identified warning signs as it relates to both their personal and workplace situations.

It was obvious that interventions such as this are needed across different employees and organisations for the sole aim of enhancing productivity. Mr Samuel Jinadu, Clinical Psychologist with Behavioural Medicine Unit of Karu Hospital facilitated the sessions and highlighted the significance of stress as it relates to workplace productivity. This dialogue has begun with expectations from both employees and employers to look into systems that would rather promote positive Mental Health in various institutions through a long-term engagement with Gede.
