Abstract

AbstractWe hope to raise awareness of mental health and well‐being among primatologists. With this aim in mind, we organized a workshop on mental health as part of the main program of the Winter meeting of the Primate Society of Great Britain in December 2021. The workshop was very well received. Here, we review the main issues raised in the workshop, and supplement them with our own observations, reflections, and reading. The information we gathered during the workshop reveals clear hazards to mental health and suggests that we must collectively acknowledge and better manage both the hazards themselves and our ability to cope with them if we are to avert disaster. We call on institutions and learned societies to lead in seeking solutions for the benefit of primatologists and primatology.

I honestly can't say thank you to the organisers @PrimateSociety for this workshop on mental health particularly the use of padlet it has been SO cathartic to anonymously air my anxieties in a safe space and to know I'm not alone in my fears #PSGBwinter2021.
