In this conversation about mental health, Hetty Verhagen (therapeutic social worker and university lecturer), Emma Fincham (fostering consultant) and Ellyse Partington (Digital Marketing and Engagement Officer), consider what mental health means to them.

They explore Emma's role as a mental health first aider, along with Hetty's direct work with social work practitioners, to consider how organisations can do better to challenge stigma and create comfortable environments for open and supportive conversations.
