In this episode of Vita Talks, host Gianna Ricciardi is joined by My-Linh Diep, founder of Sante Continuum and a recognized facilitator with the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Together, they explore how one large, unionized organization moved beyond surface-level mental health initiatives by implementing a structured, layered training strategy that resonated with executives, managers, and team leads alike.
