Why do we think about mental and physical health differently? With Geoff McDonald and Steve Larke

We all have mental health, in the same way we all have physical health. So why do we only talk about it when something goes wrong?

Why don’t we look after our mental health until we have to? And why are we more likely to make time to go to the gym than we are to take time out for our mental wellbeing?

Is it time we stopped talking about mental and physical health and just talked about ‘health’ instead?

This week, ahead of World Mental Health Day, we’re joined by Steve Larke, consulting partner and mental health ambassador, and Geoff McDonald, ex VP of Unilever and mental health campaigner.

Tune in to find out:
