HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND WORK THROUGH IMPOSTER SYNDROME
By Audrey A. Simmons, GRCA Team of Experts for Leadership Coaching & Development
“Imposter syndrome was once regarded as phenomena only experienced by women; however, the research is now clear, both men and women experience imposter syndrome. In fact, around 82% of people struggle with imposter syndrome (Bravata et al., 2020). Simply put, if an individual can’t internalize their accomplishments and own their successes, they are experiencing imposter syndrome (Abrams, 2018).”

Warning Signs of Suicide in Children
Interview with Audrey A. (Nottke) Simmons
Audrey Nottke, director of nursing at The Medical Center of Aurora’s Behavioral Health and Wellness Campus, says that suicide in children is a possible reality that adults must face.
“The study indicated that suicide among the younger age group had a higher correlation with ADD/ADHD,” says Nottke. “One of the symptoms of ADD is impulsive behavior, which might contribute to suicide in younger children, in that they might act on suicidal thoughts.”
Nottke says that the warning signs of suicide in younger children might be subtler or less noticeable, compared to the signs seen in adolescents and teenagers.
