When we’re consumed by work, our mental health in the workplace can become all that’s important. If we live for work, we better be happy there - or at least create the right environment for everyone.

In this episode, host Greg Martin talks with Michael Stroh, a psychotherapist who works with K-12 education and workplace mental health, about what it means to be in control of your own health and be able to recognize troubling signs in others.

Over the episode they talk about what companies do and don’t do to support the needs of employees, while Greg shares a story of his burnout in the world of investment banking. Meanwhile, Mike’s passion for the field of mental health came from his own struggles with addiction through a large chunk of his life and caring for his brother who lives with schizophrenia.

They key to the episode is being open to vulnerability and understanding there is a lot more to learn and understand about mental health in the workplace.
