Mental Health Awareness Week: Prioritizing Your Own Mental Health

Helping residents deal with their personal stressors and daily living concerns requires property managers to extend their own mental and emotional tools to maintain a safe and healthy environment. Join three seasoned property managers as they recount their own journeys and shed light on the mental health tools of the trade including how to become a Certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor, and how it can be used to protect themselves, their colleagues and their workplaces.
