CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS 📢📢

For our research exploring the effects of workplace gratitude. 🔍

Do you have colleagues that you value and appreciate? Have you told them why you value them? Researchers at James Cook University are investigating the effects of gratitude in the workplace, and we’d love for you to join our study as a participant.

We invite you to participate if you are (a) 18 years of age or over, and (b) employed on a casual, part-time, or full-time basis in an organisation containing colleagues.

As a participant, you will be invited to undertake a baseline survey and another survey two weeks later. You will also be provided with details on gratitude, and will be given recommendations on how you can express gratitude in the workplace.

Your participation will help us to learn what types of gratitude expression are most effective in the workplace, and you will be given an opportunity to learn the results of the study at its conclusion.

Further details on the study and how to participate can be found by clicking on the following link:

This week is PANDA week so it's a great reminder to 'tell someone who cares'. PANDA are doing great work, so please share widely and check out their resources.

PANDA Week is here!

For the last fifteen years PANDA has been using a week in November to raise awareness about perinatal mental illness and to reduce stigma so those affected can seek help. The theme for PANDA Week 2020 is ‘Tell someone who cares’.

Now more than ever it’s vital that the 100,000 expecting and new parents who are affected by perinatal mental illness every year know they’re not alone and can reach out for help.

You can help our campaign by sharing important information about perinatal mental health with your networks. Explore our digital toolkit for more info: https://bit.ly/3eAzxoy

If you can help us reach just one extra expecting or new parent with important information; or help one extra family know how they can seek support, then together, we will have made a real difference.
