Ep.168 Blue collar mental health: This is a conversation starter - Jason Banks (TIACS)

Let's have a chat about mental health. Let's not be preachy, but just have a discussion about practical tips to help you in your own journey.

Because let's face it: there aren't a whole lot of resources available for blue-collar workers who are struggling with mental health.

We'll also take a look at a case study of an organisation that provides free counselling over the phone, specifically aimed toward professionals working in blue collar jobs like landscaping and horticulture.

Jason Banks is head of partnerships at TIACS and he gives us an insight into what this not-for-profit org is up to, as well as their sister company, Trade Mutt. You may have seen their funky shirts around, especially on #FunkyShirtFriday.
