Description
ABSTRACT
Over 50 million Americans live with a mental health challenge, and 50 percent of them are not receiving the help they need. Why? Because mental healthcare is confusing. From understanding different types of providers, to grasping the difference between common symptoms & complex diagnoses, people don’t know where to turn for treatment or guide their organizations in how to provide help.
Join Marjorie Morrison, founder of Psych Hub, for a masterclass on mental health wellness in the workplace with a focus on combating mental health stigma. In this session you’ll explore common stigmas of mental health and the impacts they can have on individuals and workplace culture. Conference attendees will be asked to reflect on their own feelings about mental health, as well as engage in breakout discussions about organizational impact.
