Occupational Mental Health for an Open, Engaged Society UPDATE

Federal executives are appealing to Canada's top bureaucrat to tackle the organizational and management problems that contribute to mounting stress and depression in the workplace, as part of his much-anticipated vision on reshaping the public service for the digital age.

Mental health?  Check.

Occupational mental health?  Yeppers.

Public Service Transformation?  Of course - that's what Open Government is about.

This digital age thing - have something to do with online platforms and aggregates?  

The biggest hurdles to be overcome at this point are functionally-fixed partisans and disengaged citizens.

But we're getting there.  

I knew we would.

UPDATE:

The growing open data and civic tech movement can help make recovery more transparent and local.

Open Data, emergency prep done locally and transparently - which kinds involves community and confidence building?  Know what else mentally fit, engaged and engaging communities can do?

I really wish more people could see the emerging picture the way I do.  It's pretty.
