The growing phenomenon of violence in the workplace will be the focus of the opening session of this year's Mental Health Forum for Professionals. The day-long session, designed especially for mental health professionals, is open to the public. The New Workplace Dilemma. When people who are predisposed to mental illness are put under such pressure, something has to give. I think we're going to see more and more of this type of thing.
Homicide is now the number one killer among females on the job.
The forum is designed to provide mental health professionals with the latest research and advances in their fields. The opening address will be followed by a dozen group discussions which will be led by leaders in specific fields of study. Topics include eating disorders, single parenting, tobacco addiction and treatment, multi-cultural counseling and men in relationships. Continuing education credit for maintaining professional licenses is available. To register, call the Northeast Florida Mental Health Association at 399-5468.
