Mental Health Matters: Normalizing Discussions on Emergency Physician Mental Health and Well-Being
Normalizing discussions about emergency physician mental health and well-being begins in part with developing a foundation of knowledge on the topic as well as understanding how mental health and well-being impacts our personal and professional lives.
In this webinar, leaders in emergency medicine and mental health will discuss a range of important topics to start the Stop The Stigma EM Month of October. The panel of speakers will discuss topics such as defining and understanding our mental health and well-being as individuals, the importance of recognizing EM is a physically and emotionally demanding specialty and we as EM physicians all experience triumphs as well as struggles, and advice on how we can seek help for ourselves when needed as well as how we can best support the mental health and well-being of our colleagues.
Check out all the StopTheStigmaEM activities for October!
