When everyone is an expert… With David Burroughs

Psych Health and Safety Podcast

In this episode we chat with David Burroughs, Principal Psychologist at Australian Psychological Services and Partner at Psychological Safety Australia. Dave shares his observations of popular workplace mental health interventions, and his views of their effectiveness. We chat about the importance of accurate use of language, terminology, and concepts when discussing workplace mental health, and Dave gives us his explanation of the difference between psychological safety, and psychological health and safety. Dave offers some tips on the types of questions organisations can ask of service providers when evaluating different workplace mental health interventions, and we discuss the issue of competency within the field. https://www.psysafe.com.au/post/psychological-safety-has-it-become-the-next-maslows-hammer
