Ken Stearns welcomes Ruby Brown-Herring to the "Mental Health Today" podcast, where they discuss the importance of mental health in the workplace and Ruby's journey in the field. Ruby is the founder and CEO of RBH Wellness Solutions, an organization that supports companies in creating strategies to promote mental health in the workplace.

Ruby's journey into mental health advocacy began over 15 years ago due to personal experiences, and she has since become a mental health educator. She shares how she transitioned from her full-time job in state government to focus on mental health in the workplace full-time, even during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The conversation highlights the significance of addressing mental health issues in the workplace and the need for buy-in from leadership to create effective change. They also touch on the value of vulnerability and open communication in strengthening teams and fostering a culture that cares about employee well-being.

Ruby emphasizes that building a culture of well-being is a marathon, not a sprint, and encourages organizations to give themselves grace in the process of change. The episode concludes with Ken inviting listeners to leave reviews and ratings and to share the podcast.
