Mental Health First Aid: Transforming Workplace Wellbeing | Laura DeCook, Founder @ LDC Wellbeing

Chat with Laura DeCook, founder at LDC Wellbeing, as we explore her transformative journey from the film and tech industries to becoming a passionate mental health advocate.

Laura shares her personal stories of battling anxiety and perfectionism, the lack of empathy and support she encountered in demanding corporate environments, and delve into the profound impact of these experiences on her life. 

We also discuss the critical importance of mental health first aid training and how leaders can cultivate a culture of mental well-being by courageously sharing their own struggles and journeys with their teams.
