What We Think and Say Matters: How Unconscious Stigma May Worsen our Mental Health

Description

Mental health stigma remains a barrier for the recognition and treatment of mental illness, including amongst health care providers and staff. Often due to this unconscious messaging, many are missing out on opportunities for relief. During this webinar we will discuss stigma, "burnout", and where the research stands. Presenter, Julia Riddle, MD is currently an assistant in the department of psychiatry pursuing a postdoctoral fellowship in reproductive mental health at the Women's Mood Disorder Center at Johns Hopkins.
