Lately, the teams at Nexus have been supporting clients with their mental wellness programs. A lot of that work involves helping people talk openly about their struggles with mental health. You’d be amazed at how many people have told us that having a colleague who’s willing to listen has made those struggles easier, just as having a person who’s judgmental or unprepared to listen has made them worse.
Which begs the question…while it’s important to help people share their stories, isn’t it just as important to help people listen? If having a colleague in your corner can mean the difference between life and death when dealing with mental health, shouldn’t we be doing more to give those “listeners” the skills and the permission to support their co-workers?
Those are just two of the questions we put to Mark Henick, best-selling author, speaker, and prominent mental health advocate.
