All workplaces and communities face challenges discussing mental health issues and addressing challenging behavior without inadvertently acting in stigmatizing or biased ways.
Dan Berstein is a mediator living with bipolar disorder who has spent over a decade adapting conflict resolution best practices to help libraries, government agencies, and companies around the world have empowering mental health discussions. Join Dan to learn equitable ways to address challenging behaviors and trauma-informed accessibility practices - all while preventing accidental mental illness discrimination.
Attendees will leave with free tools they can use right away in their daily practice to facilitate empowering, bias-resistant responses to the challenges they face regularly.
