Session Overviews:
TREATING THE PAIN BEHIND THE SMILES: SUICIDE PREVENTION FOR DENTAL PROFESSIONALS Healthcare professionals are at greater risk for suicide according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Occupational Suicide List. This has led state departments of health to recommend or require these professionals to receive suicide prevention training. Frank King, The Mental Health Comedian and Dental Suicide Prevention Speaker, works with dental teams to develop effective suicide prevention strategies within their practices. Participants learn how to recognize warning signs associated with suicide, understand how to start a conversation, and offer support through referrals. By participant in this course, you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of both co-workers and parents.
STRESS REDUCTION IN THE WORKPLACE: ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY AND ENTHUSIASM
A former writer for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Frank King uses his lifetime battle with depression and his skills as a speaker and comedian as a vehicle for social change.
After the program you will be able to find:
-The chuckles in change
-The funny in frustrations
-The punchlines in the pain
...and turn your messes and stresses into successes
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the standards of the Academy of General Dentistry Program Approval for Continuing Education (PACE) through the joint program provider approval of CE Exchange and The Dental Suicide Prevention Speaker.
