Presentation Synopsis
HM 9 - It Takes a Village to Manage Abuse and Harassment in the Healthcare Ecosystem

Stronger Together: Building Your Healthcare Support Squad

In healthcare, managing workplace abuse and harassment requires more than individual resilience – it demands a strong support network. This session explores how we can create and sustain effective support systems to address these challenging situations.
