Presented by the Regional Men’s Health Initiative, this event will shine a light on the unique pressures faced by those working in healthcare and offer practical strategies for
recognising distress — in ourselves, our colleagues and our communities.
This session’s speaker is Michael Kaufman who will focus on situational distress, the dangers of distress, managing our distress and caring for ourselves and others. It explores the realities of distress, and the vital role mental health and wellbeing play in the lives of health professionals.
Let’s break the stigma, strengthen our support networks and prioritise mental wellbeing in the workplace and beyond.
