Do You Need a Day Off?

The first week of May is Mental Health Week. With more than a year of pandemic-prescribed lockdowns and overwhelming uncertainty, feeling “burned out" has become commonplace. “When we equate work we love with “not really working,” it propagates a belief that if we love it so much, we should do more of it—all of the time, actually. But this mentally leads to burnout, and the impact on our mental health can be profound.” -Jennifer Moss, Harvard Business Review, July /19 “When Passion Leads to Burnout” Moderated by Starr Cunningham, President & CEO of the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia, this panel discussion will feature business, mental health, and wellness leaders to talk about how we can identify, address and move beyond burnout. From setting boundaries to prioritizing self-care—we’ll press reset with the health of our teams and organizations in mind. We invite you to join us for this panel discussion including a live Q&A where you'll have the chance to ask your questions directly to the experts. Register
