Mental Health, to Mental Wealth
“201” Level – Mental Health Matters
Objective:
To raise awareness of the importance of our own and others’ optimal mental health to the quality of our work, the retention and development of our people and the foundation of our profession.
Vision:
A profession where we are just as comfortable taking care of and talking about mental health as we are about physical health, recognizing the importance of all aspects of health as a foundation for thriving professionally and personally.
"201" Level – Mental Health Matters:
Open discussion session where participants will learn the “basics” of mental health terminology and definitions, the wide variety of mental health matters, including identification and dispelling of stereotypes and breaking down stigmas. Participants will build awareness of what possible mental health issues do and do not look like to assist in identifying such in themselves and others, and learn about the variety of appropriate responses and range of help available.
