#197 Mental health with Jennifer Akullian

November 9, 2018 Podcast, Guest show 00:33:24

Show notes

Mental health is something that isn’t discussed openly at the workplace. The tech industry has a higher rate of mental health issues than many other industries. Stress, burn-out, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety. We talked to Jennifer Akullian, psychologist, coach and former mental health practitioner.

We don’t talk about mental health because of stigma. Throughout history people with mental health issues are stigmatised and excluded. How can we reduce the stigma? How can we be more understanding and inclusive with colleagues who are managing mental heath issues? Can we help prevent burn-out?
