From a grateful Return to Work Program patient to the Behavioral Medicine staff:

Thank you for...

...all the compassion and support you have given me.

...making me feel so welcome on my first days.

...all the laughs and giving me hugs when I needed them most.

...helping me realize that crying is a means of expressing my feelings and that it doesn't mean I'm a failure.

...the tools, wisdom, insights and knowledge from each of you so that I may grow and prosper.

...giving me wings to fly.

In the Return to Work program at Glendale Adventist Medical Center, participants learn the coping skills and relaxation techniques necessary to manage and reduce stress, depression and anxiety. By teaching group members how to deal with stress effectively, it is possible for the individual to return to an optimal level of mental wellness and resume normal activities.

The number of people taking time off work due to stress-driven episodes of depression and anxiety is on the rise. To determine whether or not this program is right for you, ask yourself the following questions:

Are you stressed out?
Are the high levels of stress affecting your mood or causing you to feel anxious?
Are the symptoms of depression and anxiety so intense that you are no longer able to function at home, in school or in the workplace?
Have the symptoms persisted despite treatment with an individual therapist and/or psychiatrist?

If you feel the above situation describes you, call (818) 409-8347 to speak to a mental health professional.
