EP 19: HOT TAKES on People with Depression or Anxiety Losing Sickness Benefits and Employee Survey Results on Mental Health at Work

Nick and Todd are back with more mental health news, ready to dissect the headlines and spark your critical thinking. 

Todd shares a UK proposal that people with depression or anxiety could lose access to sickness benefits. Parliament member Mel Strike proposes changes to sickness benefits that limit access to people with mild mental health challenges from receiving welfare payments. Todd and Nick discuss how mental illness is treated differently than physical and debate if people deliberately use mental health to their advantage.

In between stories, Nick and Todd get personal by sharing some of the challenges they currently facing and how they are working to manage the stress.

Nick wants to discuss new survey findings that reveal how employers feel their workplace supports their mental health. While 73% of respondents say their employees claim to care about their mental health, 39% believe it is just trendy lip service. Nick and Todd discuss the survey results and how business leaders can better support employees mental health. 

Prepare for passionate arguments, diverse perspectives, and a deeper understanding of the complex world of mental health. Join Nick and Todd for Mental Health Headlines Hot Takes to engage your mind and challenge your assumptions.
