Episode Synopsis

While Emily and Mei are not taking a leave of absence from work or school right now, it's still important to discuss, should you ever feel that taking a leave is the right option for you in order to prioritize your mental health. How does one go about sharing their mental health conditions with their supervisor? What's it like coming back from taking a leave? How might you address your leave of absence with colleagues? They have brought on Ali Gold, the State-Wide Youth/Young Adult Peer Coordinator to help answer these questions. Later, she shares some of her own lived experiences from her mental health journey and how that has led her to her recent experiences with electroconvulsive therapy as a treatment method.
