This innovation addresses the problem of depression and its impact on labour force participation and the ability of depressed people to maintain employment. It also addresses the lack of common knowledge about the difficulties people with depression face in the workplace and helps to better understand these obstacles. Employees after a depressive episode, due to their condition, are unable to continue working on their previous terms and conditions. On the part of employers, on the other hand, there is a loss of qualified staff who are on long-term sick leave.

The self-management workbook innovation works by providing people with depression with tools and guidance to help them better understand their own way of working and the factors that affect professional performance.

The innovation serves adults with depression who want to return to work.
