蘑菇短视频

When our mental health is fragile at work it can often be difficult to know who to talk to, where to get help or just find someone to listen without judgement.

It can be helpful to talk to someone who understands the pressures of the work environment but isn't necessarily a close friend or team member. At the 蘑菇短视频, this role is fulfilled by members of the Peer Support Network.

In this podcast the 蘑菇短视频's Chief Medical Officer Dr Clare Fernandes talks to peer supporter and South-East Today Presenter Natalie Graham.

You'll learn about:
- how peer supporters can support mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress or crisis situations in work
- what a 蘑菇短视频 peer supporter is - and what they're not
- other support available at the 蘑菇短视频, including the Employee Assistance programme

A transcript is available on the programme page for this podcast.
