Part TWO of my conversation with Lea Rummel on Mental Health Awareness and will remind you that behind every project, REAL PEOPLE face significant challenges.

Lea talks about creative approaches, such as:

➡️ placing mental health resource cards in portable toilets

➡️and integrating education into first aid training to demonstrate a company or project's dedication to making mental health support accessible and relatable.

Let’s break the stigma and equip ourselves with the knowledge to support one another.
