A Penny or Two for Your Thoughts

Workplace mental health affects every team, every manager, and every employee — but most people still don't know what to say or where to turn. In this episode of A Penny or Two for Your Thoughts, hosts Chantel Windeshausen and Liz Malmberg sit down with a panel of experts to talk openly about recognizing when a coworker is struggling, how to start that conversation, and the resources available to help. Joining the conversation are Molly Woodman, Director of Community Engagement at the Kim Foundation — a Nebraska nonprofit dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health awareness — and Terry Coleman, Clinical Manager at Best Care Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which provides confidential counseling to hundreds of Omaha-area companies and their employees. Centris Federal Credit Union’s own Chrissy Cunningham (Benefits Administrator) and Robin Fredieu (Director of Learning & Development) share how Centris is equipping its people leaders with the training and tools to build a psychologically safe workplace. From warning signs managers should watch for, to why confidentiality in EAP counseling is ironclad, to the simple power of asking "How are you?" — this episode delivers practical, compassionate guidance anyone can use.

International Credit Union Day is a day to raise awareness about the tremendous work that credit unions and other financial cooperatives are doing around the world. Our CEO and president, Steve Swanstrom, and our executive vice president and CFO, Tom Huston, joined us on the podcast to chat about the importance of the credit union movement during an election year, the impacts an election year has on the financial industry and what steps we can take to be financially prepared no matter what the outcome.   If you’d like to support the ongoing advocacy efforts for credit unions, visit americascreditunions.org and click the Advocacy tab If you have any questions you would like us to ask our Subject Matter Experts, send them our way to apennyforyourthoughts@centrisfcu.org Follow Centris on Social!
