Investing in your mental health - with John Troutman

This episode of the #RockstarsRocking podcast features my rockstar friend, John Troutman; Director of National Marketing & Business Development at MSEAP, a national EAP firm, based out of Harrisburg, PA.

We delve right into a topic near and dear to my heart this week, talking all about mental health and how important it is for people to prioritize in their lives. John opens our interview detailing how he was a pastor for nearly twenty years before burnout forced him to re-evaluate his situation. He ultimately ended up still fulfilling his calling to help others, but through the lens of Employee Assistance Programs (EAP’s), which connect employees with resources they need to help them deal with the tensions and stresses in their lives.

John details why mental health and burnout are such important topics for individuals, employers, and brokers to focus and invest in, overcoming the stigma of reaching out for help, as well as what brokers should be looking for in a good EAP partner.
