How Mental Health Relates to Legal Issues That Canadian Business Owners Encounter with Guest Sarah Parker, Part 1

As I shared in last week’s episode, in this new season of the podcast we’re diving deep into topics of accessibility and inclusion—essential yet sometimes overwhelming areas for small business owners. That’s why I’m bringing in expert guests to break down these important subjects and offer actionable strategies. Today, we kick off the season with our first guest, Sarah Parker.

Sarah is a passionate mental health advocate and public speaker who combines personal experience with professional expertise. She’s dedicated to reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness, focusing on seeing individuals beyond their diagnosis.

In today’s episode, you’ll discover:

• Sarah’s inspiring journey into entrepreneurship and the pivotal moments that led her to pursue her mission in mental health advocacy.
• The empowering aspects of owning her own business and the value she brings to her clients.
• Key considerations companies must understand about accommodating employees during the hiring process, including the concept of "undue hardship."
• Why mental health-related liability and workplace safety are critical topics for all employers to grasp.

We hope this episode provides valuable insights. To learn more about Sarah’s work and her mission to promote mental health awareness, you can visit her website, and don’t forget to tune in next week for Part 2 of our conversation with Sarah—you won’t want to miss it!
