Music-based Cognitive Training
for Depression
The investigators have developed music-based cognitive training sessions derived from Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) techniques. The music-based cognitive training sessions will address areas of attention and executive function, which appear to progress over time and worsen as an individual experiences more episodes of depression. The aim of this pilot is to test 8-weeks of music-based cognitive training to improve cognitive function among adults with major depressive disorder.

Trauma Resilience Program
for Healthcare Worker Stress
The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need for skills training and mental health support for healthcare workers who are exposed to the numerous stressors and potential trauma of a high-risk environment. This context is associated with significant impacts on mental health, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, with nurses and personal support workers (PSWs) being disproportionately impacted. The proposed STEP program is an intervention that aims to equip nurses and PSWs with the skills and support needed to promote their wellness and navigate the challenges of experiencing trauma in a high-risk, high-stress environment, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic. As such, the STEP intervention has the potential to improve trauma resilience and mental health among nurses and PSW, which may ultimately improve patient care and benefit the hospital system during and even beyond the pandemic. The results from this study will also provide vital insight into promising interventions for healthcare workers that are accessible and scalable.
