“Reducing stigma in the workplace takes a few different things. This is Me is helpful because you are getting leaders to share their stories and then that trickles down into organisations.

It’s definitely something that is part of my life now. I talk about my own mental health in a very authentic way; and I feel like This is Me has allowed me to do that. It's also given people that perhaps are less confident in sharing their story a safe platform.”
