An art workshop was held February 5 at the JGH as part of Suicide Prevention Week. The activity in Carrefour Lea Polansky was aimed at promoting the mental and emotional well-being of CIUSSS employees by offering a space for creativity and relaxation.
The event offered an enjoyable moment of relaxation during which colleagues seemed to forget their worries and could express their emotions and thoughts through the paintings they created. Participants kept their artistic works as souvenirs of this moment of well-being.
The activity was an initiative of the Promotion and Prevention Subcommittee of the Inter-Directorate Committee on Suicide Prevention. It was led by the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Programs in collaboration with Occupational Health, Safety and Wellness – Prevention component of the Human Resources Department.
