At 2SER we are very supportive of having conversations about mental health. Previously on the Daily we have talked about workplace health and industry groups which experience mental health issues. However, recently a number of chefs in Australia and overseas have taken their own lives, therefore today we would like to bring attention to mental health particularly within the hospitality industry and look into why the risk of poor mental health is increased in such an industry.

Professor Rebecca Mitchell, Psychologist from the Department of Management at Macquarie University, joined us this morning on the Daily to discuss workplace mental health within the hospitality industry.
