In 2003, Mandi Luis wrote an article entitled "What I Wish I Knew: A snapshot of depression". Even as she wrote this great article, Mandi knew from her own experience that it wouldn't help the very people who needed it most. That realization started Mandi and Mary Ann Baynton, then director of Mental Health Works, on a journey to create Working Through It? - a series of videos designed to speak directly to people struggling with mental health issues. Real people share their experiences of working through times of mental health pressures at work, off work and returning to work, and send these important messages: 1) you are not alone, 2) there are things you can do to reclaim your well-being, and 3) there is hope for a better tomorrow.

The messages are in short video clips that answer the questions most relevant to those who need them. In addition, valuable resources are free to download and print.


Mary Ann's interview with Mandi Luis can be read here [PDF].

It is with our deepest gratitude that we thank Mandi Luis and the Working Through It? project team for their vision, determination and perseverance in creating this most inspiring resource.

Please help us evaluate how the Working Through It? web resource is working for you by completing our survey. Thanks for providing your feedback!
