Description
Anxiety, pain, depression, burnout — dentistry can be difficult and take a toll. Studies show that dental professionals experience a high incidence of mental illness. Additionally, many dental professionals don’t clearly understand the mental health conditions that our patients present with, which red flags to watch for, or what to do and how to intervene. Presented in Austin’s trademark comedic style, this course explores strategies for working together to improve mental health so we can be our best.
Learning Objectives
• Learn how to recognize triggers and warning signs.
• Identify essential tools and resources.
• Discover how and when to refer to a mental health professional.
• Explore and understand mental health terms, common treatments and therapy options.
• Gain coping mechanisms and learn how to manage expectations — both our own and those of our patients.
