Mental Health Spotlight with James Routledge, Founder of Sanctus

“Getting out of bed was hard. Every day felt like a chore - it felt like the grind. And one night in bed, I just thought to myself, if I feel the same way again tomorrow morning, I honestly don’t want to wake up…” 

Continuing our Mental Health mini-series, we look back on our discussion with James Routledge, Founder and former CEO of Sanctus - a purpose-driven mental health organisation focused on providing support in the workplace. 

In today’s episode we hear about James’s mental health journey and how it led to starting Sanctus, including: 

• Why none of the existing mental health services felt like the right choice for James [00:54] 
• The most difficult steps he had to take in his own mental health journey [07:49] 
• James’s advice on how you can find balance as a Founder [10:59]
