This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and this year’s theme is anxiety. The annual campaign is an opportunity for us to open up and start conversations, while increasing awareness and understanding of anxiety. But not just for one week…
TalkTalk’s Talent Acquisition Business Partner, Chris Pope is somebody who stands by this – working to support others all year round. He is a facilitator at one of the Andy’s Man Club groups, which meet every Monday evening, across the UK, at 7pm. Andy’s Man Club is a nationally recognised, free-to-attend peer-to-peer support group with a view to end the stigma around men’s mental health.
In this week’s podcast, we speak to Chris about the power of open conversation, the importance of connection and the benefits of attending one of the Andy’s Man Club sessions.
