Ep.168 Blue collar mental health: This is a conversation starter - Jason Banks (TIACS)
Listen now
Description
Let's have a chat about mental health. Let's not be preachy, but just have a discussion about practical tips to help you in your own journey. Because let's face it: there aren't a whole lot of resources available for blue-collar workers who are struggling with mental health. We'll also take a look at a case study of an organisation that provides free counselling over the phone, specifically aimed toward professionals working in blue collar jobs like landscaping and horticulture. Jason Banks is head of partnerships at TIACS and he gives us an insight into what this not-for-profit org is up to, as well as their sister company, Trade Mutt. You may have seen their funky shirts around, especially on #FunkyShirtFriday.

A sound understanding of hardscape elements is a good feather in the cap for any horticulturist, maintenance operator, or garden enthusiast. Sadly, most of us never get a chance to learn about this part of the garden because we only get to play in the dirt. In this episode, Joel Barnett (In Style...
