Mental Health Risks in Cyber Operations
Suicide is the second leading cause of death in the United States among people aged 10 to 34. We often hear about the mental struggles of those at the front lines—and rightfully so. However, cyber professionals experience striking health similarities in their high-stress and mission-first job duties. Burnout, depression and even suicide are becoming occupational hazards.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Join us for the first AFCEA Solutions webinar by SIGNAL Media as experts dispel disinformation within the intelligence field and debunk the perpetual myth that seeking help threatens security clearances.
Register today for the free webinar taking place on March 8 at 1 p.m. ET.
Advance Reading: Be sure to review the white paper, “The Danger of Cognitive Stress on Tactical Cyber Operations” written by members of AFCEA International’s Cyber Committee, which seeks to educate readers on contributing factors of the current cultures, the potential role of "gamification" to impact behaviors and recommendations to address the issue of stress, depression and suicide among cyber professionals.
