In this episode, we're joined by mental health advocate Jimi Hunt to explore the concept of 'mental health literacy' and why language matters.
While mental health awareness has improved over the years - there is still a gap between knowing about mental health and taking actions towards better mental health.
We discuss how to obtain and maintain positive mental wellness, how to understand mental health problems and seek support, and how to decrease stigma in the workplace.
