An uplifting and informative live kōrero, as Shaun Robinson (CE, Mental Health Foundation), Charlotte Ward (Chief People Officer, Kiwibank) and Nathan Price (Mental Health and Wellbeing Manager, New Zealand Rugby), catch up with Dr Fiona Crichton to talk about the importance of mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, and how this helps us show up at work as our best selves.

The Five Ways to feeling good and functioning better
A MHAW-themed live kōrero with Jase Te Patu (Te Ao Māori mental health advocate and mindfulness master) and Dr Fiona Crichton (VP Behavioural Science, Groov), speaking about the Five Ways to Wellbeing, and the relationship to Groov's 6 Pillars of Mental Wellbeing, and Te Whare Tapa Whā.
