Building off the success of our article on Mental WellBeing, Works For Women has curated a number of local leaders from the Edmonton community to share their stories of mental wellbeing. The event will provide you with an opportunity to hear unique leadership stories, network and hear and discuss why mental health is such an important factor in your own success. You will have an opportunity to hear stories from our leaders, engage in dialogue and begin to develop your own strategy for combating this very real challenge in our work environments.

The following leaders will be sharing their stories of mental wellbeing with us:

• Shirley Benson (Retired District Fire Chief, 2nd Canadian Female Fire Fighter)
