Anddd we're back with part 2!

An outstanding doctor, a caring father, a loving husband, and a patient - Today, we're incredibly fortunate to have Dr Kieran Allen, who is a psychiatry registrar at Monash health!

A Monash University medical graduate, he has been working at Monash health since the start of his medical career, earning the title “Registrar of the year” in 2019. He is also the co-founder of the “hand-n-hand peer support service”  which is a bi-national peer support network for healthcare workers in Australia and New Zealand. Furthermore, he is a very passionate advocate for health professionals' mental health and health policy.

In the second half of this two-part podcast, Dr Kieran Allen shares about his work in policy and advocacy in the field of mental health, as well as his views on stigma. He even gives valuable pieces of advice for healthcare workers or anyone struggling with mental health conditions.
