In this episode I feature Katie van Heek the owner of Health Intent as we look at how to recognise mental health issues in business and how to handle them. It is a recording from a webinar we did and the slides are available at Katie van Heek Slides.

Mental health issues are becoming more prevalent in life and business. There is a lot more awareness now and with that comes more help to deal appropriately with them. 

Katie van Heek created her business Health Intent and shares her time between individual body-led counselling support, and training as a licenced facilitator of Mental Health First Aid, Older Persons Mental Health First Aid, and as an educator for Western Australian Recovery College Alliance (WARCA). Katie is passionate about education and the inclusion of Mental Health in the community and Workplace.

Here is What You'll Learn from this webinar recording:

* Neurodiversity vs Neurotypicality
How are our brains different and what does that mean in the context of owning a business?

* Cultivating Psychological safety in professional relationships
What are the four pillars of psychological safety and how to I integrate them into my workplace?

* Mental Health First Aid
One conversation can save a life, everyone should know how to start one. What does this look like in a workplace?

* What are Psychosocial risks and how do I mitigate them?
The Workplace Safety and Health Act offers some guidance; what does that mean practically in the workplace?

* Psychological Contracts
What are they, how do I navigate them and how do I safeguard against breaches?

* Communication is Key
How do I discuss all of this in a professional setting, communicating the needs of the business and supporting the needs of myself, and employees?
