Blue Monday and First Responders

Blue Monday might have been a marketing campaign gone wild, but depression and seasonal depression are real issues that can affect our mental health. And this time a year may be even more detrimental for Public Safety Personnel and First Responders because of their experiences. But Dr. Luke Schneider says it Blue Monday doesn’t have to be so blue. He’s a Registered Psychologist with the Nova Scotia Board of Examiners in Psychology and the College of Psychologists of Ontario, and a Clinical Research Associate at PSPNET. He talks about Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, PSPNET and how this free online therapy portal is available to people on their own time, in their own homes on their own terms. He also describes how it’s also been expanded to help the families of first responders too.
