Moving beyond the outdated mindset of "suck it up and move on," we embrace the modern view that it's okay to not be okay. But what happens when you or a colleague truly aren't okay? How do you respond when someone admits they are struggling, considering suicide, or feeling overwhelmed? Have you fostered an environment where such honesty is supported, or are these confessions still trapped, turning colleagues into statistics?Join us as we dive into these uncomfortable but crucial conversations and explore effective resources to effectively support your peers and most importantly yourself.... while earning 1.0 hour of CAPCE-accredited CE. Let's recognize that all of us, despite our Type-A personalities and reliance on caffeine, are human beings in need of support.
