EP60 Losing Someone Is Never Easy; Including Your Employees.

Losing someone is never easy; losing someone to suicide brings an entirely different set of challenges.I feel incredibly honoured to have had Paul Mcgregor on the podcast this week, a mental health advocate, and the founder of EveryMindAtWork.We talk about how he turned his grief from losing his Dad to suicide into an impactful mental health organisation helping companies educate and support their employees' mental health.In 2020, Everymind at Work was born. His mission is to help businesses tackle the stigma of mental health at work and provide proactive support to employees.The support his Dad never had.What then started as an idea driven by personal loss, is now a mental wellbeing partner supporting 100s of organisations in their fight against mental health stigma.Suicide is currently the biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK.I've personally been there.I know many other men who have been there. And I know that something has to change.I applaud Paul for his vulnerability on this podcast and for sharing so openly about his bereavement journey and the associated challenges of losing someone to suicide.This is an episode you do NOT want to miss.Find Paul here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pmcgregorcom/Find Vincere here: https://vincere.io/chrisoconnell/
