I went to a very professional seminar today from the ICIM about depression and food. There is a clear link between processed food and how our brains process this food into poorer and poorer nutrients which help to create mental disorders. We are what we eat - that means we think what we eat as well !!
I then went to the FAS jobs fair and did a short survey of all the companies there. I asked them all did their company provide stress management, burnout prevention or suicide prevention measures in their place of work.
7% of those asked said they were "thinking about a policy in the area of suicide prfevention"
One company reported TWO attempted suicides in their employee base since Christmas
All the others said that there was nothing in place
50% of the large companies said they had an EAP (employee assistance programme)
That means 50% DID NOT !!
One company who said they had nothing and that was the way they wanted it ! - This company employes over 13,000 people in Ireland. WOW !!
