May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a pause in time to raise consciousness of the trauma and impact it can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being along with reducing the stigma around behavioral health. The Mental Health Awareness Roundtable was born out of Illinois Diversity Council’s (ILDC) member-focused vision to bring forth tools, resources and best practices as we transition and navigate through a post-pandemic era. This half-day forum will provide a holistic lens of wellness that is scientifically based, culturally nuanced and includes socially informed perspectives from a diverse representation of subject matter experts, practitioners and thought leaders. Join us for this dynamic and engaging learning opportunity in creating tools to thrive for Wellness Within and proclaim Well-YES!! Objectives: • Engage to create a compelling business case for increased consciousness of mental health in the workplace • Empower leaders with an awareness and ability to respond to behavioral health with empathy and emotional intelligence • Equip participants by sharing their lived experiences and enable them with tools and resources to sustain wellness within BOGO; Buy One Registration, Get one Free.
