In this episode of The Work Well Podcast, we’re speaking with Workplace Mental Health Programme expert Emily Pearson. Emily is the co-founder of Our Minds Work, a company that provides consultancy, training, and education to companies looking to create a mentally healthy work environment.

Emily has a lot to say about existing workplace mental health programmes. In this episode, she challenges our understanding of mental health in the workplace and takes a closer look at the training some organisations offer their employees in this area (including Mental Health First Aid) and outlines the safeguards that should accompany these types of training programmes.
