002: The Mental Health Slide - with Mukhtar Nasir

The COVID-19 pandemic has really shaken us all, both physically and mentally and it’s a topic that’s hot on everyone’s lips. What challenges did you face and what opportunities did you find within the COVID 19 period?

Mukhtar Nasir, Managing Director of Nafs Health Consultancy & Training Limited explains why he thinks the pandemic is having such a slide on our mental health, even when we haven’t been directly impacted and how he feels this will shape other mental health services in the future.

Best Quotes:
