Saw this and thought I needed to share it!! We often hear about the issues and when things aren't working, which can be difficult to deal with. Keeping yourself in the right place is important.
JumpCloud is running a "Mental Health for IT Admins: Helping the Helpdesk" webinar on Thursday, November 3rd, at 12 PM (EST). The description and link are included below.
I hope that if this is something you need, you can take advantage of it.
===== DESCRIPTION ==========
Your mental health doesn't belong on the backlog.
When you work in a stressful, high-pressure role like IT, there's more opportunity for mental health issues to surface and run rampant. That's why it's critical to build strategies and find routines to help prevent and combat common issues like burnout, anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
Make your mental health a P1 and connect with others navigating a similar situation during our live conversational event. We'll talk about habits and practices we use as admins to improve mental health in our daily lives and get tips from a licensed psychologist on preventing our high-intensity workloads from taking over not only our time, but also our mentalities.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Real-world stories on how others in IT are walking the tightrope between work and mental health
- Tips from a licensed psychologist on how to prevent high-intensity workloads from negatively affecting your mentality
- What "quiet quitting" means and how to find the mental wellness strategy that works best for you
