Today I’m joined by Dr. Ralf Friedrich. Ralf is an expert when it comes to coaching virtual teams and he is also a Mental health first aid instructor. As every organization above a certain headcount has a dedicated first aid responder for accidents at the workspace, Ralf is convinced and in my view righteously convinced that we not only need first aid responders for physical accidents but also for mental health issues. But this is still going to be a long way, as in most organizations mental health issues are blacked out whenever possible and hidden on the individual level out of fear that a mental health issue could affect the career or reputation.
