In this episode we chat with Dr Don McCreary, Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Brock University. We discuss the research he conducted for Movember evaluating the effectiveness of various workplace programs designed to prevent psychological injury in the general population and in the military veteran and first responder cohorts, how his findings have informed further research, and the need for research to evaluate systematic rather than individual-level interventions. He shares his thoughts on the need for a gendered approach to workplace mental health interventions that tailors language and approach to improve mental health outcomes for men. We also discuss issues of social science literacy, research generalisability, and a whole lot more in this extra-long episode.

In this episode we chat with Christine Yeung, CEO and Founder of Beyond Story.
