How To Be Alert For The Signs And Symptoms Of Mental Illness, And How To Remove The Stigma That Surrounds Mental Health Issues.  Mental health is a critical aspect of our overall well-being, and it is essential for pilots and others in aviation as well. Significant under- reporting of mental health conditions is known to be widespread throughout the aviation industry. In this MentorLIVE session, we will review the signs and symptoms of mental illness and explore ways that pilots may self-report any mental health issues they may be experiencing.    We will discuss how flight instructors can be alert to the signs and symptoms of mental illness, and we will explain how to remove the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. We will highlight reporting systems that are designed to maintain confidentiality while ensuring that individuals receive the necessary support while taking appropriate measures to ensure flight safety.
