Mental Health Awareness
Mental health impairments impact one in five adults. Improving our awareness of how mental health disorders can affect the workplace is essential. This session will review the two most common mental health disorders in the U.S. today: anxiety and depression. We will discuss prevalence of the diagnoses, typical symptoms and characterizations, and how these diagnoses may present in the workplace. We will also talk about expressing concern for others. Finally, we will discuss self-care strategies to help improve emotional health.
