We wanted to share with you a part of the toolbox meeting we had with our team recently. Within our team, we’ve had experiences where people around us have had real challenges with mental health. This conversation (see video) is different; however, we feel it needs to be front and centre.
If you or someone you know is facing challenging times or feeling down, it is time to speak with a trusted friend or family member. Don’t dilly-dally.
There are also plenty of resources and people you can get in contact with. Here are some starting points to get a conversation going with someone; as Adam shares in the video, a problem shared is a problem halved.
