Let’s talk mental health – Lifting the communication taboo to foster mentally healthy workplaces and communities

Based on a Gold Quill Award-winning case study from Ambulance Victoria, Mairi Barton SCMP explores the challenges, the role of communication professionals and poses a question for our function – are we doing enough to support our own people’s mental health?
