Today’s guest is one of the leading voices in Mental Health support in the workplace.

Tim Munden, the Global Chief Learning officer at Unilever, has created programmes which aim to inspire people worldwide to look after their health and wellbeing.

But it was when he first started developing these programmes, that he realised he had his own demons to tackle.

From being injured out of an Army Career before it even started, to having a near death car crash that brought him years of harrowing nightmares, and the driving forces in his own career that have helped and hindered him over the years, he’s here to discuss them all.

Our guest today is Simon Blake OBE. CEO of Mental Health First Aid England.

Mental Health First Aid England has one aim - to improve the mental health of the nation. The organisation wants to see 1 in 10 of the population trained in mental health first aid, and for all of us to start considering mental health as being on a par with our physical health.

As a gay man who came out during the HIV epidemic, Simon understands the importance of supporting mental health through every stage of life and work.

Tragically, when his brother died suddenly five years ago from heart failure he also saw first hand how more needed to be done to support those suffering with grief & loss.
