S4E9 Diversity & Inclusion at work: mental health, pt. 2
Content warning: discussions around mental illness and mental distress, with frank conversation around suicide.
Discussion around suicide starts at 5:13 and ends at 11:01.
Following on from last week’s episode, today we’re continuing our discussion around mental health. As we’ve said, it’s different for everyone, so how can we spot when we or those around us are struggling? And from that, how can we then create better support systems, both at work and at home?
This episode was produced by Alice Crabtree.
