Long-time broadcaster Shelagh Rogers, host of “The Next Chapter,” speaking this morning at a WorkSafe NB conference on workplace health and safety. Rogers, who has publicly struggled with depression, tells CHSJ News technology can contribute to a sense of isolation, particularly when you’re not talking to anyone face to face anymore.
Rogers also emphasized proper sleep and exercise as preventative measures…but says social stigma is the biggest issue, and will only be removed by talking publicly about mental health issues.
