Roundtable Discussion: An Open Conversation on Mental Health

There's still too much stigma around mental health. And after one of the most mentally challenging years in history, we felt it was critical to have a candid discussion about it. From creating "yay me" folders to the importance of saying "I don't know", these five panelists share their personal stories, hopes, and wisdom for a mentally healthier future.

“People told me I was a calm and relaxed person. So I just bought into that.”

Jon Riggall

Education Team Manager, Typeform

Professionally I started out as a writer, and technical writing was where I found my home. Now I'm enjoying cultivating a team of people helping to help customers help themselves. I'm someone who needs other things in their life - I love my job and I need to balance it with other things (in my case art) to feel content. I'm a natural at worrying, so the pandemic has been fantastic for me.
