The Mental Health and Well-Being of our Colleagues, and Ourselves
Who hasn’t let their work consume them? It’s easy to do, especially in a 24/7 industry like PR.
In the rush of the news cycle, the thick of the campaign, the excitement of events, or the tension of managing a crisis, are you checking in on your colleagues’ wellbeing? Are you taking care of yourself?
Join the CPRS Hamilton Mentorship Program for the final instalment of the 2023-2024 Webinar Series, The Mental Health and Well-Being of our Colleagues, and Ourselves. We’ll discuss the ways that conversations about mental health are evolving, how to look out for ourselves in a demanding field, and strategies for setting boundaries in the workplace.
