We need to talk… (more) about mental health at work
“Why are you so emotional?”
“Can’t you just put your private life aside?”
“We are at work, please be professional!”
Who doesn't know sentences like these?
In a world captivated by progress and achievement, mental health and well-being often find themselves relegated to the shadows or not taken seriously.
Embark on a transformative journey with me, redefining mental health discussions in the workplace. Visualize a setting where mental well-being is integral, fostering genuine support. Explore the tangible benefits for both employees and management, understanding how a supportive workplace elevates individual thriving and overall organizational success.
Offering examples of navigating mental health challenges at work and providing guidelines, insights, and ideas for supporting others, this talk goes beyond. Regardless of whether you encounter challenges or not, valuable tips and insights into supporting mental health issues in the workplace will be shared.
The question is not, “Should we talk about mental health at work?” but rather, “How can we talk about mental health at work?” This session will offer a direct answer to that question by giving examples and guidelines out of personal experiences.

Starting QA in 2017 Vero has already amassed some experience in the QA field, working for three different companies. When she's not working, Vero can be found giving back to her community as a volunteer firefighter or kicking a ball around the soccer field.
