Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast

Those working in broadcasting, advertising and marketing already have high levels of stress, so for many - COVID-19 restrictions, thousands of subsequent job losses, and juggling work from home with child care compounded existing day-to-day challenges.

Berube works with NABS - one of the best kept secrets in the industry - that offers free, confidential support to media, marketing and communications professionals. She joins us on this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast to talk about how the pandemic has increased demand for their services, helping the industry navigate, and their Mental Health May initiatives.
