This is a podcast with a unique focus. This podcast focuses on the 1-in-5 people with a mental illness, not the 5-in-5 people who have mental health. That’s right, we’re focused on the tips and tools that will help people with mental illness and those around them.

This podcast is for:

• Those in Human Resources looking to improve the health of those with mental illness
• Managers looking to work with those with mental illness more successfully
• Workers looking to improve their workplace for those with mental illness
• Anyone looking to improve company culture and morale
• Anyone with a mental illness who wants to understand their place in the workforce

In short, if someone in your office has a mental illness — and if you work with more than four people, it does — then this podcast is for you.

This podcast livestreams across LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook on Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
