Description
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, join Access Labs and Flatiron School for Keep Calm & Code: Mental Health in Tech.
According to Mental Health America, over 44 million American adults have a mental health condition. Technology has changed the way we identify, treat, and find community around mental health, while simultaneously creating a fast-paced and demanding industry that takes a toll on the mental health of developers.
This TED Talk-like event will address mental health in the tech community from three distinct perspectives:
- How technology is addressing mental health on a large scale
- How to pursue a career in tech while taking space for mental health
- How Access Labs and Flatiron School teach our students to put their mental health first
Followed by a Q&A Session with all the presenters.
***Stay tuned — presenters to be announced!
