S41E13 - Mental Health at Workplace: The Cost of Coping, with Emma Mainoo and Adrienne Milner

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Emma Mainoo and Adrienne Milner about the recent report, Mental Health at Work: The Cost of Coping. Emma Mainoo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-mainoo-066b5123/) worked as a senior-level marketing professional within global brands and agencies for a number of years. This brought great professional reward, but at the same time, Emma was hiding in plain sight whilst living with anxiety and depression. In 2012 she began a healing journey which she later shared on her mental health platform Surviving Sundays. In 2019 Emma became a qualified Mental Health First Aid Instructor and today, through the Utopia mental health practice, Emma drives healthier cultures across organisations as diverse as Spotify, TikTok, Rakuten and eBay.  Dr Adrienne (https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrienne-milner-phd-4345b6220/) is Research and Impact Director at Utopia and an expert in policy addressing race-ethnic, sexual, and other types of societal and organisational inequity. Her passion is utilising empirical evidence and quantitative methodology to drive and measure positive change. Dr Milner is also Honorary Senior Lecturer at Brunel University London and has authored two books and 40+ peer-reviewed publications related to equity, diversity and inclusion issues and policy.
