2024 Mental Health Awareness Week

May 20-24, 2024

Mental health affects people on all sides of the leasing desk, from residents to maintenance to the C-suite and everyone in between. With these kinds of emotional, and sometimes physical, implications, rental housing professionals can be called to wear numerous hats far outside their job descriptions and the current company culture and hiring policies.

That’s why NAA has partnered with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing to present this 5-part cathartic webinar series to fit the needs of our industry.

This year’s line-up includes topics such as stress management & burnout, substance use & coping mechanisms, trauma, reflection and diversity, equity & inclusion & mental health.

Using the hashtag #NAAMentalHealthWeek on social media, share your company’s journey towards mental health care.

• Mental Health Awareness Week: We Welcome Your Feedback: Fostering Safety at Work

This is traumatic. Join our expert to discuss the impact of psychological safety and cognitive diversity have at work and how to foster safety.
