As a dental professional, you face unique pressures that can impact both your well-being and your team’s dynamic. Historically, responses to substance use and mental illness have been punitive, often isolating those who need support the most. In this course, you’ll learn to recognize signs of impairment and key symptoms, while gaining strategies to foster a supportive, inclusive work environment. You’ll leave equipped with tools to navigate sensitive conversations, support colleagues and help build a culture of care and resilience within your practice.
Learning Objectives:
Identify potential behavioral and physical indicators of substance use and mental health needs within the dental team
Understand the impact of mental illness and substance misuse on colleagues, practice dynamics and patient care
Improve the ability to engage in sensitive conversations with colleagues and within the dental team
Provide an overview of resources available to dental professionals seeking support for mental health and substance use changes, including both professional and personal channels for assistance
