To highlight Mental Health Awareness Week and to kick off the start of Season Two, Nikki Thomas meets with Sarah Tuck, Co-founder of CoLiberate.
CoLiberate are building a wellness revolution, empowering Kiwis with tools and strategies to support their mental health and wellbeing.
Nikki speaks to Sarah about how CoLiberate started, they both discuss their own experiences with Mental Health, the changing face of the workplace as wellbeing is being spoken about more and more and the importance of Mental Health First Aid Training in Workplaces.
With recent figures showing that over 15,000 New Zealanders attended the Emergency Department in 2019 experiencing mental health crisis or suicide before Covid-19 hit the globe, Mental Health Awareness is needed more than ever.
