According to MHFA Australia, every year, 1 in 5 Australians will experience a common mental illness. That means that every day, millions of Australians go to work while experiencing a mental health problem; the impact of this can be enormous, affecting workplace productivity, performance, and employee well-being.
Given that the average Australian worker will spend close to one-third of their life at work, the workplace is an ideal place for early intervention for mental illness.
This is where Mental Health First Aid training can help. Mental health first aid is the help provided to individuals who are developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. This kind of first aid is given until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves.
Our team provides mental health first aid developed in line with evidence-based mental health first aid strategies. Our lead trainer, Dr Tinashe Dune, is a certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor via Mental Health First Aid Australia.
