May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we're addressing the topic with the understanding that it can stir up feelings of shame, anger, and sadness for many people. We hope to help destigmatize mental health and provide helpful information and resources. This discussion won't be recorded and you're welcome to keep your camera off or attend anonymously.
Whether you've battled mental illness or worked alongside someone who has, there's no doubt that it's an aspect of wellness that impacts our community and should be better understood. Join us for an engaging conversation on the importance of mental health awareness.
This Live Chat will foster a safe space to discuss our experiences in the context of helping fellow members find professional tools & resources and personal stress management strategies that may help during tough times. That said, we'd like to focus less on sharing what's best discussed with a professional and more on how you overcame or helped another overcome a difficult mental health challenge and the resources and endeavors that have helped. Let’s share best practices to support individual wellness and personal sustainability.
Some topics we may cover, and welcome your sharing on, include:
- Industry-specific resources
- Self-care practices
- Creating a supportive professional circle
- Therapy and medication
- Exercise
- The impact of food on mental health
- Using Mindfulness/meditation practices to thwart burnout
- Speaking openly about mental illness to destigmatize shame
We realize some topics are personal. Our Business Resource Group Live Chats are not recorded as to encourage participation and networking. These conversations are strategically structured to be group conversations rather than traditional Live Chats or webinars. We encourage all to speak up and share
Who Should Attend: All Members Welcome.
