Family: Career Friend or Foe?

For early-career scholars and clinicians, conversations about life at work and life outside of it are often had in hushed voices or behind closed doors. This is in large part due to the precarious employment status of advanced trainees and the delay between completing professional training and ensuring job security. This event is an invitation to bring together early-career scholars, clinicians, and their allies for a safe conversation around the healthy balance of family and career commitments. The guided nature of the dialogue refers to the participation of senior mentors to share knowledge on workplace norms and expectations related to issues such as family health, child care, and parental leaves. The event is intended to, if relevant, kick start a series of conversations towards promoting life balance and wellbeing among early-career scholars and clinicians. It is a gender inclusive event, so all are welcome.
