New Podcast on Mental Illness in the Workplace

I’m so pleased to announce that this Thursday, I’m launching Snap Out of It! The Mental Illness in the Workplace Podcast with Natasha Tracy. (You can always find it via “Podcast” on the top menu.) This podcast is unique because, as the name suggests, we are focusing on mental illness in the workplace and not the overly-general mental health in the workplace. Don’t get me wrong, there is a place for discussing mental health in the workplace too, but that’s not the focus of this podcast. Just like on this blog, I’m focusing on mental illness.
