We are very pleased to announce that the Black Dog Institute will be running FREE workshops for us in October – which is great timing as October is ‘Mental Health Month’.  We will be holding these ‘Your Mental Health at Work’ workshops for members at locations in Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong.

Mental health is a part of all of our lives, and it’s important to be proactive in taking steps to prioritise it.

Get practical advice to start a conversation about mental health and create a positive culture at work.- take part in these workshops delivered by the Black Dog Institute. This training will give you the skills and confidence to boost your mental health and support others and is delivered by a psychologist experienced in workplace mental health.

These workshops are limited to 25 people each, so please check your availability prior to booking (late cancellations make it difficult for us to find replacements).

You will learn:

  • how to spot the early warning signs of mental ill-health and what to do;
  • how to have conversations at work about mental health;
  • your work health and safety rights and responsibilities;
  • steps you can take for your own self-care or to support others; and
  • where to go for more support.

What you can expect:

  • No preparation is needed – just show up with a willingness to learn
  • You will receive a workbook to complete during the workshop which includes additional resources and support services
  • The 2 hour training includes interactive discussions, polls, scenarios and Q&A
