Let's talk about Mental Health
1 in 4 of us will be diagnosed with a mental illness during our lifetime and many more will have undiagnosed mental health problems. Unsurprisingly, mental health issues are having a greater impact on people’s ability to work than ever before.
This month Steven Copsey and guests talk about their own mental health struggles and how that has impacted them in their daily lives. The podcast explores how we can all look after our mental health and support our colleagues to do the same. Steven is joined by Jake Mills, an award-winning stand-up comedian, mental health campaigner and the founder and CEO of Chasing the Stigma, and Inclusive Employers’ Senior Consultant Addison Barnett.

Neurodiversity in the workplace
To build a truly inclusive culture in your organisation you need to consider, and allow for, how every individual accesses, and can thrive in, the workplace. Understanding neurodiversity is one key to enabling this.
In this month’s podcast, Steven Copsey talks to our guests about their challenges of finding work, the impact of having a supportive line manager and the challenges of working from home due to Covid 19. We also offer support and advice to employers to make it easier for those with neurodivergent conditions to join their organisations and challenge preconceptions – not everyone who has Autism and other neurodiverse conditions, such as ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Asperger's, is the same.
Our guests are our very own Zeinab Ali, Inclusive Employers’ Digital Marketing and Membership Adminstrator, and Simon Richards, Vice-Chair of All Wales People First National Council. We’re also joined by Naz Mir, Inclusive & Diversity Consultant at Inclusive Employers.
