Welcome to the 64th episode of the Diverse Minds Podcast. With the second lockdown in the UK, and mental health and wellbeing of paramount importance, what are the ways in which workplaces can truly create and sustain workplace wellbeing initiatives that work? Where’s the research, especially with pressure placed on healthcare and social services?

To join me to talk about these issues and more is Dr Jermaine M. Ravalier.

Welcome to the 63rd episode of the Diverse Minds podcast. It’s anti-bullying week from the 11th to the 15th of November. As many of you know, workplace bullying and combating it is something I feel very deeply about. Why, as it impacts so negatively on so many people's mental health.

Welcome to the 62nd episode of the Diverse Minds podcast. We are kicking November off talking about International Stress Awareness Week, and to join me in doing this Mita Mistry.

On today’s episode of the Diverse Minds Podcast, I talk about women’s wellbeing and CV-19. I decided to make an episode on this because last week, I was invited to be part of the women in work all-party parliamentary group.

This year's theme for the group is women's well being in the workplace, and this particular meeting focused on women's well being at work during COVID -19.

I was really honoured to be part of this and felt it was a great platform to raise a number of issues that friends, colleagues and women I know have encountered during the lockdown and during this period of COVID - 19.

On today’s episode of the Diverse Minds Podcast, I talk about the term BAME and the ways in which people may self-identify, and how language needs to change.

I decided to talk about this as this has become a topic many people want to engage with and talk about in my online training sessions about race and race equality.

On today’s episode of the Diverse Minds Podcast, I am going to be talking about hate crime and the impact it has on mental health.

I decided to talk about this topic as the 10th to the 17th of October 2020 is Hate Crime Awareness Week, which also overlaps with the World Mental Health Day on the 10th of October.

I really feel it’s important to talk about both of these topics, and especially as it's Black History Month, the topic of race hate crime needs to be addressed as well.

Welcome to the 58th episode of the Diverse Minds podcast. This is the first episode for Black History Month 2020, and it also happens to be Dyslexia Awareness Week, which runs from the 5th to the 11th of October 2020.

I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to talk about race, culture and dyslexia, and to join me in doing this is an expert, colleague and friend Jannett Morgan.

On today’s episode of the Diverse Minds Podcast, as part of my trilogy for Self-Care September, I talk about assertiveness and setting boundaries. I outline how assertiveness can help you on your self-care journey, in terms of your mental, physical and social well-being,

I decided to make an episode on this topic as setting boundaries often stops us from looking after ourselves.

Welcome to the 56th episode of the DM podcast, and as part of Self-Care September, I'm going to be talking about creating safe spaces for specific cultural groups.

I am delighted to be joined by Rupinder Kaur, Founder and CEO of AWMB and the Inspire Monthly Club.

On today’s episode, as part of Self-Care September, I talk about creating, adapting and having a routine to support your self-care.

The term self-care often has a bad reputation or a response that invokes a big sigh!

What I mean by self-care is taking practical action to look after your physical, mental and social wellbeing, and doing this regularly helps us during times of stress and builds resilience.
