This week, Lucinda talks to mental health consultant and psychotherapist, Petra Velzeboer, about the practical and relevant topic of how we can create healthy workspaces through bringing our mental health strategy to life via behaviours, leadership and other methods.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Toxicity can manifest itself in many ways, such as rules and leadership styles, and can affect how comfortable people are in bringing their full selves to work.
Far too often, we only approach mental health issues when a crisis has already surfaced. However, mental health issues affect everybody at all times, and the strategies should be something we are constantly maintaining.
The first step in creating a truly inclusive atmosphere in the workplace, is to make sure that all departments are communicating effectively. The strategy must be a holistic one.
We should not be on the look out for signs and symptoms all the time. We must not confuse a "Wellness Week" with a "Sickness Week". Look for ways to reinforce positive psychology.

BEST MOMENTS

'There are weird similarities between a cult environment and a toxic workplace'

'Mental health is about everybody'

'How do we align all of this and bring it all together?'

'What about talking about thriving, connection, belonging?'
