Carbon
Neutral Conference
Every aim has been made to reduce the carbon footprint, or human impact, this conference will make on the environment. Producing an event completely void of a carbon footprint is extremely difficult, and in order to reach neutral status IAPA will be offsetting the remaining carbon footprint by reinvesting in an equal amount of sustainable resources.

The Psychologically Safe Workplace: The Role of “Guarding Minds at Work”
A psychologically safe and healthy workplace promotes emotional well-being and presents minimal risk to employee mental health. Psychological health consists of our ability to think, feel and behave in a manner that enables us to perform. Dr. Shain will explore the nature and implications of this new legal requirement and will introduce a new, free resource known as Guarding Minds at Work (www.guardingmindsatwork.com).
