Let's talk about minority stress in the workplace

Health care workers with minority identities (e.g., sexual, gender, racial, ethnic, differently abled, religious) experience minority stress over and above their occupational stress.

Research on minority stress has clearly documented the health impacts of chronic stigma and discrimination-related stress that individuals with minority identities experience in addition to general life stress.

Mental health providers and organizational leadership require cultural sensitivity, training, empathy, and humility to support health care workers with minority identities.

This symposium features:

• Moderation by Dr. Margaret McKinnon, Principal Investigator of McMaster University's Healthcare Salute project.

• A research presentation on minority stress and resilience among health care workers with minority identities by Dr. Aneesh Joseph of the Trauma & Recovery Research Unit at McMaster University.

• A panel discussion featuring Dr. Ann Malain, Dr. Hygge Schielke, and Dr. Andrew Nicholson on their experiences of organizational support, research, and clinical work with individuals with minority identities.

An audience Q&A session follows the panel.
