The Mental Health Challenge with Chris Ayoub, President, RealManage

Community association board members and managers often swap ‘war stories’ about being ‘in the trenches’ when dealing with the pressures of overseeing their communities. Host Donna DiMaggio Berger puts these catchphrases into perspective with featured guest Chris Ayoub, combat veteran and president of a national property management company. The duo seeks to remove the stigma commonly associated with seeking help for mental health challenges and explores how focusing on your individual well-being can ultimately benefit the entire community.  

Topics include the evolving attitudes toward mental health, identifying and utilizing available resources to deal with verbal/emotional/physical abuse, a board’s responsibility to act on reports of potentially dangerous behavior, understanding that not everyone suffering from mental health issues poses a risk to the community or its managers, removing unhelpful labels – condo commando, crazy owner, uncaring manager – that can divide people, and more.
