When we're talking about relief from the everyday trauma facing the microaggressions that we do in the restaurant industry as servers and as workers in the food service industry, we're often using substance use to cope with difficult feelings that we don't have an opportunity to off or discharge anywhere else, but in the bottle or in the needle right.
Ever wondered why the restaurant industry seems to have such a high rate of mental health issues? In this eye-opening episode, Clint Mally sits down with Melinda Dorn from CHOW to discuss the unique challenges young people face in the hospitality and restaurant sectors. Melinda sheds light on how everyday stressors and microaggressions can lead to serious mental health struggles and even substance abuse among workers.
But it’s not all doom and gloom; she also talks about the importance of creating supportive work environments and the role of positive affirmations. This episode dives deep into how trauma impacts mental health and why transition rituals can make a difference. You’ll also hear about the power of peer support and the benefits of free mental health training available to those in the industry.
Whether you’re in the food service business or just curious about the pressures behind the scenes, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
