Protecting Health Worker Mental Health: A Call-to-Action Webinar
Online OnlyHealth workers face many challenges as part of their work, such as long work hours, rotating and irregular shifts, exposure to human suffering and death, and increased risks for exposure to disease and other harms. The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified these challenges and contributed to worsening mental health. Some of the concerns include burnout, distress, compassion fatigue, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and suicidal ideation. These can impact the overall health and well-being of workers and may impact job performance, patient care, and safety.
As part of the American Rescue Plan of 2021, CDC NIOSH received Congressional funding to deliver a national awareness and education campaign to protect and improve the mental health of health workers. As we begin this effort, we invite experts from across the nation to this call-to-action forum to discuss this critical topic.
CBHL Member Leadership Discussion: Cross-Generational Leadership
“A leader’s biggest struggle is not the routine of the familiar, but the journey of the unknown. It’s getting from where they are to where they want to be strategically, tactically, organizationally, developmentally, and most importantly relationally.” -Mike Myatt, N2Growth
Many of our ideas about leadership culture come from the leaders of organizations we work for when we first enter the workforce. What was the leadership culture you first encountered? How did this shape your value system as a leader? In behavioral health, how can we better integrate leaders across generations and their respective belief systems?
Join us for an interactive, discussion to explore cross-generational leadership in behavioral health.
