From the Archives:  .  Back in 2020/22 I had a great chat with Marteka Swaby of Benevolent Health around mental health in the workplace. 

Together, we dissected the fine line separating mental health from mental illness taking into account  the profound effects of external stressors that were prevalent at the time.

The landscape of remote work brings its own set of challenges, and in the heart of our conversation, we address the critical need for proactive mental health strategies. 

We examine cultural attitudes, particularly the British tendency to maintain a "stiff upper lip," that can impede seeking help, and we offer insights into creating a thriving sense of community when physical separation prevails. 

For managers, we share actionable advice on creating supportive networks and recognizing the sometimes-subtle signs of mental distress in their teams. Marteka shares tactics for nurturing communication, from casual check-ins to motivational interviewing methods that bolster mental health and enhance team dynamics.

In closing we share personal anecdotes and practical steps to build resilience and mental fitness across all areas of life, including the demanding realm of homeschooling.

This one’s not to be missed and is well worth the rerun!
