Nationally Recognized Mental Health Strategist, Speaker & Therapist to Speak at West Michigan Event
Inforum, the female-focused statewide nonprofit, will host its annual Capstone Dinner featuring keynote speaker Dr. Dominique Pritchett speaking on burnout prevention and health equity
Michigan (November 2023) – Inforum, a statewide organization focused on the professional growth of women, will host its annual Capstone Dinner on Thursday, November 16th, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the JW Marriott. This year’s event will feature keynote speaker Dr. Dominique Pritchett, a podcast host, licensed therapist, and business owner. She will speak on preventing burnout and breaking the mental health crisis cycle. Tickets are available here.
“We hear a lot about burnout, but with 20 years of experience in mental health, Dr. Pritchett knows what she’s talking about,” said Terry Barclay, Inforum president and CEO. “As the owner of the Beloved Wellness Center™ as well as the founder and podcast host of Space for Sistas™, she has helped thousands of individuals and organizations build sustainable mental wellness strategies.”
Jan Harrington-Davis, SVP of talent attraction at Corewell Health, will moderate the discussion. Jan has more than 20 years of experience in talent attraction, workforce diversity, and employee relations, including serving as vice president of talent acquisition and workforce diversity for Detroit-based Henry Ford Health.
“It’s important to know the difference between stress and burnout. Stress is having too much on your plate and finding it difficult to get tasks done. Burnout is quite the opposite resulting in depleted motivation, energy and even caring,” said Dr. Dominique Pritchett, PsyD, LCSW. “As women navigating the professional landscape, facing burnout is pivotal to mental health and wellness. Only here can we show up, offer support and serve others. My motto is: Burnout ain’t’ it!”
Inforum’s annual Capstone event highlights groundbreaking female leaders and provides the opportunity to build and strengthen professional networks. Recent speakers include Michelle Li, award-winning anchor and reporter for NBC affiliate KSDK in St. Louis and co-founder of the Very Asian Foundation, and Tarana Burke, founder of the Me Too movement.
