Ralu on Board, Ed.10: Even for people who can freely talk about their mental health with friends, at work it still is a no-go topic.

In edition 10 of RoB, Ralu Nistor-Lustermans has the pleasure of talking with Meagin van der Vesthuizen, who is an independent mental health advisor for expats and a social worker from South Africa. Meagin is passioned about making people’s lives better and ensuring that those who need to be heard and cared for are getting the support they need.

This podcast talks about the importance of mental health as part of our overall well-being, how mental health language and perception varies depending of the culture you have been raised in and the undoubtable need of raising awareness of the need to talk about our mental health.
