BREATHE has a range of resources and signposting specifically for the whole dental team and can provide guidance to deal with stress within dentistry and to build resilience and manage "being well” working within the profession.
“Mental health needs a great deal of attention. It’s the final taboo and it needs to be faced and dealt with.”
Mental Health Wellness in Dentistry is dedicated to supporting and driving the need to look differently at mental health in the workplace. Its guiding philosophy is to ensure that there is a whole team approach to mental health wellness in the workplace and that ‘early intervention and safe signposting’ is a given.
By becoming part of this call-to-action and movement to embrace the need to reduce the stigma and provide a safe space to talk, the hope is that the team will have the opportunity to thrive at work. After all, mental health is everyone’s responsibility.
We are a mutual / self help group of doctors and dentists from all levels of our professions who are recovering from, or wish to recover from addiction to alcohol, drugs or other behavioural addictions.
Our meetings, physical and online video, are not abstract scientific discussions about alcoholism / drug addiction but focus on sharing our journeys, our difficulties, both personally and professionally, and what has helped us in our recovery.
