The full day Mental Health at Work course is a comprehensive interactive face to face or virtual workshop, developed for all employees, to raise awareness of mental health problems in the workplace, develop an understanding of the common mental health problems and teach essential skills to create a mentally healthy environment.

Supporting the mental health of employees is of growing importance, especially since most state and territory governments have introduced legislation under the WHS laws which states that “a person conducting a business or undertaking must manage the risk of psychosocial hazards in the workplace.” Aside from the new laws, the evidence is clear that creating a mentally healthy workplace boosts productivity, reduces accidents and absenteeism, and improves employee engagement and satisfaction.

Every day, one in six working-aged persons will arrive at their workplace and start their day managing a diagnosed mental illness. An additional one in six will be suffering from symptoms associated with ill mental health. An understanding of mental health and the ability to recognise the early warning signs is essential for any organisation.

This PD Training course is designed to provide participants the foundations to have effective conversations about stress, mental health and wellbeing.
