S2 Episode 6: Organisations need to tackle burnout now! With Dr Peter Baldwin
Show Notes

 Our next guest on the Mindarma podcast is Dr. Peter Baldwin, a clinical research fellow and clinical psychologist at The Black Dog Institute. Peter is an expert on burnout, a poorly understood condition that has received growing attention during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While burnout is not a diagnosable mental illness, it is having a major impact on workers in occupations as diverse as healthcare, emergency services, legal, journalism, childcare and teaching.

Indeed, Peter manages a Black Dog Institute service that is allowing Australian health professionals to remain anonymous when seeking help for burnout or mental illnesses such as depression and PTSD. The service -- called The Essential Network -- has been running for two years and has already been accessed by 10,000 health workers.

Interviewing Peter is Dean Yates, who we’re delighted to share has re-joined us as host of the Mindarma podcast.

 We hope you enjoy the episode.
