Mental Health First Aid: Chris Stewart's Journey and Workplace Wellbeing

You can't have good health if you haven't got good mental health. Mental Health First Aid's mission is to make it easier to talk about it and understand that people have it and people get well.
Ever wondered how mental health first aid can transform workplace environments? Clare Kennedy sits down with Chris Stewart from Mental Health First Aid to explore this very question. Chris, who has navigated his own recovery journey for many years, shares his personal insights on the intricate relationship between mental health and substance misuse. His mission? To equip corporate environments with the tools needed to foster mental wellbeing.
Chris's approach is rooted in the belief that good mental health is essential for overall wellness. He poignantly states, 'You can't have good health if you haven't got good mental health. You can be physically fit and depressed. And, if you're depressed and physically fit, you're not well'. The conversation dives into the principles behind Mental Health First Aid, highlighting the importance of early intervention and social innovation.
Clare guides the discussion through various topics, including the role of mental health support in corporate settings and the significance of accepting our powerlessness over others' illnesses. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone invested in mental health, substance misuse recovery, or workplace wellbeing.
