Fireside Chat: Creating the Foundations for a Healthier Way of Living & Working
What if the next global health crisis is a mental health pandemic? Anger, stress, worry and sadness have been on the rise globally for the past decade and numbers reached record highs in 2020. Research indicates that women have suffered disproportionately to men during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that Tech is consistently one of the top industries affected by mental health issues. Anxiety and depression can destroy ideas, energy and eventually businesses.
During this session we will share practices that both individuals and leaders can use today to safeguard against the spiking mental health crisis.
