Mental Health at Work: Myths, Mistakes & What Actually Helps | Sunday Surgery Ep. 1

Mental health at work has become surrounded by myths, good intentions and, occasionally, complete nonsense. In Episode 1 of The Sunday Surgery, ROOK sits down with Jon from Ready State Training to look at what actually helps when someone at work may be struggling. We cover the difference between mental health and mental illness, why managers shouldn't try to diagnose people, the fixing trap, listening properly, Mental Health First Aid, asking about suicide, knowing when to escalate, and what useful workplace support actually looks like. The five things to remember: NOTICE → ASK → LISTEN → SUPPORT → ESCALATE APPROPRIATELY The Sunday Surgery is practical discussion and education — not medical advice or diagnosis.
