Many developers, including myself, deal with mental health issues, yet mental health in the developer community is often overlooked, hidden, or swept under the rug. Too many of us suffer in silence and end up hurting our professional and personal relationships, or even worse, ourselves.

What can be done to help de-stigmatize mental health issues? How can we, as a community, band together to help those of us with mental health issues feel more welcome in tech?

Together, we can work to Erase the Stigma associated with mental illness.

Learning Objectives & Outcomes: 

If people attend this session, I believe that they will feel more comfortable talking about mental health and have more knowledge to share about resources available to individuals dealing with mental illness in the workplace.
