Promoting Mental Health Awareness

Promoting Mental Health Awareness

In this of the Tiaras and Tech podcast, Shelley Benhoff talks about her journey with her own mental health to promote mental health awareness. Shelley is a Business Owner, Author, and Professional Speaker. She is also a Sitecore Technology MVP with experience as a Lead Developer for many years.   Intro  Hello, Gems! Welcome to another episode of Tiaras and Tech. I’m your host, Shelley Benhoff, and today I’m talking about promoting mental health awareness. I am a huge supporter of mental health initiatives because I have struggled with anxiety and bipolar disorder all my life. In this episode, I will share with you a completely open discussion of my experiences with mental health disorders and how they have affected my career. This is also a good episode if you do not have mental health disorders and I will talk about how you can support people who do. I have to give you a trigger warning, I will be talking about sexual harassment, assault, and suicide. If you are struggling with your mental health, there are resources to help you. For the US, there is a list of resources on CDC.gov and nami.org (that's n-a-mi-i.org). There will be links to resources for other countries in the show notes. I think it’s really important that we talk about these things because no one pretends to struggle with mental illness if they have one. We pretend everything is ok when it’s not. You are not alone. I hope you find this episode informational and that it helps you understand mental illness.   If you or anyone you know is affected by mental illness, you are not alone. You can find help using any of the links below or talking to your doctor.  suicidepreventionlifeline.org  nami.org  findtreatment.gov   Connect with Shelley!  https://twitter.com/sbenhoff  https://pluralsight.pxf.io/mgGLbO  Tiaras and Tech is dedicated to providing inspiration for women & marginalized groups in tech.

The portfolio site could include a blog  Use Social Media - I got a job from Twitter!  Build your professional network when you do get a job so you don't have to rely on recruiters  Communities for the technology you’re pursuing (i.e. Docker and Kubernetes have slack channels you can find on their websites)  User groups or communities   #100daysofcode   @GirlsWhoCode           @WomenWhoCode           #MomsWhoCode  #WomenInTech          @BlackGirlsCode        #BlackTechTwitter    r/girlsgonewired              Get a free 10-day trial for Pluralsight at tiarasandtech.com/pluralsight.   Tiaras and Tech is dedicated to providing inspiration for women & marginalized groups in tech.
