In this episode of The Belonging Project Podcast, we talk with Dr Jessica Jackson, licensed psychologist and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Care Lead at Modern Health and we loved to learn about her journey into her field and area of expertise.
We explore:
- Mental health, Belonging and the intersection of culture and mental health.
- The foundational (yet often forgotten!) step to creating psychological safety in the workplace
- How our social identities impact our mental health
- The reasons why self-compassion is a needed pre-work to empathy and kindness.
We also deep dive into Jessica’s latest research on Modern Belonging, particularly how a lack of sense of belonging is correlated to symptoms of anxiety and depression.
