Recruitment Down Under: The APSCo Australia Podcast

The Third Wave: A mental health discussion with psychologist, Fiona Lewi

APSCo Australia Season 1 Episode 13

Health psychologist Fiona Lewi of Affiliate Member, Sentio Health, joins the Recruitment Down Under podcast to discuss the ongoing mental health challenges caused by COVID-19.

Fiona speaks to what she is seeing as a psychologist in the nation’s toughest lockdown city, Melbourne, and how those now in need of assistance are struggling with the lack of both physical and face-to-face contact, something that those who are suffering are in desperate need of.

Fiona and Lesley also discuss:

  • The notion of mental health as the third wave of the pandemic 
  • The signs to look out for in deteriorating mental health
  • How can managers and colleagues look out for one another?
  • The role of intermediaries and EAPs
  • Why routines are so important in this current landscape, and
  • Why mental health first aid should be a major part of our future mental health agenda.
