About this Session

Well-being is often mistakenly viewed as being homogeneous across age, race, gender, and sexual orientation, but mental health needs vary based on people’s diverse experiences and identities.

Supporting the well-being of individuals who come from diverse backgrounds requires a willingness to be a student instead of a teacher. Learning to attune to each person’s unique needs allows for more authentic connection, as well as greater success as leaders.

This talk will:

• Discuss the importance of considering diversity in addressing mental wellbeing as leaders
• Provide tips for taking a learner/listener stance
• Teach tactical tools for connecting with and supporting diverse groups
