ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

We have learned from world-class athletes at the top of their games, like Naomi Osaka, Michael Phelps, and Simone Biles, how they must prioritize their mental, as well as physical health. Working in healthcare is a stressful environment on a good day. A leadership style that includes “put on your game face” and “tough it out” will struggle to meet the needs of their patients and the practice while also addressing the mental health needs of their employees. In this session, we focus on concrete strategies practice leaders can implement to make an immediate impact.

Objectives:

- Describe the factors bringing employee mental health to the forefront of HR discussions

- Identify strategies for improving individual mental health

- Develop practice-wide improvements for improving employee mental health
