Description
Building emotional resilience and positive mental health is crucial for dental professionals and other healthcare workers. This high-stress profession can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm.
A growing concern in dentistry is chronic workplace stress, which can severely damage the mental health of dental professionals and impact their ability to provide appropriate care. Psychological interventions have shown great benefits for well-being and emotional resilience, but resources are limited.
This guide provides evidence-based tools from Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help readers build resilience, engagement at work, and nurture positive mental health, creating happier, thriving careers in dentistry.
