Topics of discussion may include: sustainability when supporting diverse populations, the realities of working in fast paced settings, and tips and tricks for maintaining a work/life balance to support mental health.

Sustainable Development Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Sustainable Development Goal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries
The United Nations describes the importance of this goal stating "Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Urgent and concerted action is needed to set the world back on a trajectory towards achieving Goal 3."
The United Nations created this goal to address inequalities existing in the world, explaining "Reducing inequalities and ensuring no one is left behind are integral to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Inequality within and among countries is a persistent cause for concern. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic appear to be reversing any positive trends of narrowing income inequality. The pandemic has also intensified structural and systemic discrimination. Emerging markets and developing economies are experiencing slow recoveries, widening disparities in income between countries. The number of refugees and migrant deaths worldwide reached the highest absolute number on record in 2021."
