Erasing the Stigma: You're Not Alone
J.D. Flynn
Mental health issues are prevalent in the developer community, but we're still afraid to talk about them openly because of the associated stigma. Whether you suffer from mental illness or would like to be more supportive of the people you know who do, this session aims to help erase the stigma and open the conversation.
Learning Objectives & Outcomes:
Attendees should leave knowing resources available for helping to deal with mental illness and, hopefully, have a better understanding that a mental illness is not a character flaw, but part of a person.
