Mental Health and Substance Abuse Where Ideas Launch - Sustainable Innovation Podcast

- Management
We know it, but sometimes it's hard for us to take action behind supporting appropriate selfcare. I’ve been guilty of abusing legal substances in my life. From alcohol, tobacco, sugar, I’ve allowed these substances to regulate my mood, my energy levels and short-term feelings of happiness. On where ideas Launch – the podcast for the sustainable Innovator, I raise this topic because Health and Well being is number 3 on the list of sustainable development goals, and because I know that many are still dealing with the effects of the pandemic on their mental health and well-being.
Today we’ll be talking to Charlotte Hopkins, who has dedicated two decades of her career to helping provide the right support to people experiencing addiction. Charlotte works in the private sector, and has unique insight on how prevalent these issues are even amongst professionals who do not typically seek public support for their struggles.
