21/ MANDY JOHNSON
EPISODE 21
Kenneth and James meet confirmed BDOT Mandy Johnson this week to talk all about mental health. We discuss how things have changed in the sector and society, plus what we can do to improve our awareness and response. Mandy describes her own experiences, speaking openly about how she came through and what she has planned next in her stellar career.
It's a more serious episode to what you're used to, as it should be. Yet we do need to get Kenneth a desk assessment and James a sick bucket.
If you feel someone you work with could do with a coffee and a chat about how things are going we recommend you take a look at the excellent resources on the Mind website below. You can also find more information on the first aid course mentioned by visiting the Mental Health First Aid website here. If you just want to talk to someone about the issues raised in this episode contact the Samaritans any time, from any phone on 116 123 or by visiting their site.
Our thanks to Mandy for her honesty. You can find her on Twitter and her list of Great Charity Speakers.
