Episode 7: When Education is Not Enough: Turning Knowledge into Action

In Episode 7 of Talking Shoppe, Essence and Emily discuss a busy week and home projects. They play their work wife, work overlord, and work nemesis. For their last Mental Health Awareness Month episode, they focus on education versus awareness, arguing that increased awareness isn’t always accurate and that people often only learn about mental health after problems become inconvenient. They explain why mental health is relevant to all workplaces through executive functioning, stress, and functional impairment, outline key executive functions, and propose a workplace curriculum. They close with their weekly R.E.P.O.R.T. segment.
