Custom and Corporate Programs

Pathways to Happiness can work with your organization — be it corporate, nonprofit or government agency — to offer customized programs on any aspect of the Happiness research and practices. We can also adapt a complete Pathways to Happiness curriculum for your organization as an employee support or management development training.

Depression and anxiety have enormous costs to organizations in terms of lost productivity, absenteeism and "presenteeism," in addition to the health care costs. See www.bcmentalhealthworks.ca for a way to calculate the cost of depression for your organization based on the incidence of major and minor depression and the average salary of your employees. The interventions used in Pathways are proven to increase well-being and, in large studies with follow-ups up to 10 years, some have been shown to prevent depression and anxiety disorders, cutting the incidence in half. We are interested in partnering with your human resources and employee assistance professionals to offer Pathways to your employees. Pathways is not psychotherapy, but it gives powerful tools for prevention as well as being an effective adjunct and follow-up to psychotherapy.
