Mental Health Awareness Month: Promoting Mental Wellness in the Communications Industry

May 17, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

“Public relations executive” is on the list of the 10 most stressful jobs, according to CBS News. Think about it: PR, marketing and social media pros are almost always on call, and working hours regularly extend beyond the usual 9-5 —especially if their organization is in crisis.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we at PRSA Pittsburgh are committed to promoting mental wellbeing and eliminating stigma associated with mental health — especially in the communications and marketing world.

Hear from corporate mental health expert and CEO of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Keystone PA Christine Michaels, who will provide tangible steps communications and marketing pros can take to promote mental wellbeing.
