Looking for your input for a future session about Mental Health
FOR A SESSION TITLED: YOU CAN DO THIS, DAMMIT
Presented Oct 2022 at DataMinds Connect, accompanied by some eventual articles, here
MORE CONTEXT
The last few years have been difficult for most - if not all - of us, for different reasons. This is why I recently decided to make a session aiming in part to acknowledge this. My hope is that this session & the accompanying articles helps folks find solidarity & hear concrete strategies on how to deal with personal & professional challenges to growth & mental health.
WHAT IS THIS SESSION ABOUT? A WORK-IN-PROGRESS SUMMARY:
LOOKING FOR YOUR INPUT IN A SHORT SURVEY
The purpose of this survey is to collect anonymous information from people describing mental health challenges faced in their professional lives, and how they have dealt with it. My intention is to present this anonymous data in sessions & articles to an audience, to help:
1. Illustrate that if others are facing challenges, they are not alone
2. Share some strategies about how to deal with such challenges
3. Motivate or inspire others with short quotes or stories of other professionals in their field
While the intent of the session is to support & share among those in our industry, I hope to have the session & articles audited by a professional psychologist, to ensure THAT no incorrect information or advice is unintentionally provided.
