179. Real Talk: Lynne's Mental Health Journey - Lynne Wester


Listen Later

Welcome to Day 5 of Mental Health Week on the We Are For Good Podcast.  Don't miss our roundup of resources to dig deeper at weareforgood.com/mentalhealth

Meet Lynne. Welp, actually, you likely already know her. And not just from the many industry keynotes she undertakes. But also, because Lynne's our first repeat guest in our show's history, and we brought her back to share a little-known story. And it's deeply personal, because it's her mental health story. And some of us may have been on the sidelines as it was unfolding. She wants you to know the signs and know what to say if you or a staff member experience something similar. It's raw and real. Pull up a chair. We think there's much to be learned from this shared experience.
