The latest episode of the ‘My Pocket Psych‘ podcast is out! This time, I interview psychologist and psychotherapist Nicola Tatham about the importance of mental health in the workplace.
Unlike physical conditions, which can be obvious to other people, mental health conditions may go unnoticed for some time. Despite roughly one in four of us experiencing a mental health condition during the course of our lifetime, mental health can still be a taboo subject and those living with such conditions can experience stigma and unfair treatment.
We believe it’s critical to destigmatise mental health and to get a level playing field between it and physical wellbeing at work. So in this episode, we talk about how mental health conditions might become obvious to line managers, how they might offer support and open up lines of communication and help to employees experiencing a decrease in their mental health.
You can download the episode via your podcast app of choice, listen to it via the WorkLifePsych website or download it directly via this link.
We hope you enjoy it and please, if you have any follow-up questions or comments, do let us know. Either on Twitter or via the feedback form on this website.
In the new year, we turn our attention to the topic of productivity at work and discuss how to deal with procrastination and how to prioritise the various tasks that come our way.
Happy listening!
