NAA Mental Health Week

NAA Mental Health Awareness Week is Next Week – May 19–23!

Mental health impacts everyone in our industry, from residents and maintenance teams, to site staff and the corporate office. That’s why the National Apartment Association (NAA), in partnership with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, is hosting a free 5-part webinar series designed for rental housing professionals.

Each session covers a meaningful topic to help us navigate the emotional demands of our roles:

  • Monday – What to Know About Hoarding
  • Tuesday – Fostering Resiliency through Self-Care
  • Wednesday – Day of Care (Not a webinar. A day to reflect and find a little time to take care of yourself)
  • Thursday – How to Show Up as an Ally After the Storm, featuring our very own Lori Agudo, Director of Training & Talent Development!
  • Friday – Effective Communication During a Crisis

All webinars take place at 1:00 PM CT/ 2:00 PM ET

This is an incredible opportunity to support your own wellbeing and learn how to better care for those around you — both at work and at home.
