I had the pleasure of sitting down with Adam Spreadbury, co-founder of the Bank of England’s Mental Health Staff Network and mental health advocate. He talked to me about his experience of depression, triggered by stressful periods in his life.
The conversation also covered the importance of support in workplace, shedding light on how small actions, adjustments and signposting can have a positive impact on all employees, and the importance of being able to bring your whole self to work.
Adam also talks about the power in learning to say no, in order to make more time for ourselves, and stay well. A poignant and funny conversation, with a trailblazer in the mental health space.
