Graeme Cowan hit rock bottom in his life and took many years to get through depression and come out the other side, but when he did, he became a founding director of the enormously successful mental health charity, R U OK?
He talks about unhealthy work-life relationships, the process of recovery, invaluable advice that helped him pull through, how R U OK? came about and how it has evolved since then. Plus, he talks about his current work with WeCARE365 and how organisations get massive returns-on-investment in mental health and wellbeing.
Graeme is also the host of The Caring CEO podcast.
