In this special DTX EDITION, we have the pleasure of being joined by Jonathan Marnoch, Principal Security Architect at Jaguar Land Rover, and Sarah Williamson, Operational Manager for Renfrewshire Council’s Mental Health Services. Together, they explore the important topic of Mental Health in the Workplace. Jonathan shares his personal journey with mental health challenges, ADHD, and addiction, while Sarah offers her expertise in supporting mental health in organisations and raising awareness around suicide prevention.

The discussion highlights how companies can create supportive work environments that prioritise mental health, with a focus on the roles of leadership, HR, and management in identifying signs of distress and providing the necessary support. Jonathan and Sarah also discuss the challenges faced by professionals in high-pressure industries like cyber security, and how fostering open communication and reducing stigma are key to building healthier workplaces.

The episode also touches on the role of community networks in supporting mental health, the impact of remote working on wellbeing, and strategies for building resilient teams.
