First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a free online program from the World Health Organization, called 'Doing What Matters in Times of Stress,' can help reduce anxiety and depression in employees of small and medium-sized Dutch companies. About 518 workers with elevated stress levels will either use the 5-week online program with phone support or continue with their usual care. The goal is to see if this simple, scalable approach can improve mental health and work-related outcomes.
