Be Well at Work-Plus: Depression and Physical Activity for Hospital Service Workers

This study is testing a new program called "Be Well at Work-Plus" for hospital service workers who experience depression and physical inactivity. This program is delivered remotely and includes work-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy), work coaching, and text message support for mood and physical activity. It also helps with social needs like food or housing. The study is looking for 60 participants who are at least 18 years old, work at least 20 hours a week in Environmental Services or Food & Nutrition Services, and have mild or greater depression symptoms. The main goals are to see if the program is practical to use and if it helps reduce depression symptoms over about 4 months.
