PeopleFirst: The Young Careers Podcast

Destigmatising mental health in the workplace


Listen Later

There’s been much progress made in how we talk about mental health as a society. And yet, there’s still a stigma surrounding the ‘unsexy’ side of mental illness.

When it comes to the workplace, how can we open up about our mental health in a way that makes us feel protected, authentic and empowered?

To unpack this topic, Jordan is joined by Happiness Consultant, Zoe Mallett, and Zack Tucker, content creator @ocdestigmatize and Accounts Consultant.

They discuss:

  • The ‘unsexy’ side of mental illness, including OCD
  • Understanding mental health beyond depression and anxiety
  • Meaningful, practical ways employers and colleagues can create supportive cultures.

You can follow Zoe on Instagram and check out her website, and Zack on Instagram or TikTok.

Trigger warning: Please note this conversation contains discussion of mental illness, including anxiety, depression and other potentially distressing experiences.
