Ready to become a Mental Health First Aider?

Workplace Training

Improving workplace mental health is in everyone's interests, and we all have a role to play. Both employers and employees have formal rights and responsibilities under discrimination, privacy, and work health and safety legislation. Businesses have a legal obligation to provide a psychologically safe workplace, including taking action to identify and manage psychosocial hazards.

Mental Health First Aid Workplace Training

The mental wellbeing of people at work is good for everyone and enhances personal and organisational resilience, and success. Both employers and employees need to prioritise looking after their own mental health and creating a mentally healthy workplace.

Creating a healthy workplace isn't as difficult as you might think

Here are some ideas:

  • Leaders to make a commitment to mental health in the workplace and offering education or training in mental health and wellness.
  • Having designated Mental Health First Aiders. (to book a mental health first aid course click here)
  • Focus on the work environment: simple things like natural light, plants, standing desk options, social meeting spaces.
  • Healthy food options.
  • Flexible working arrangements combined with physical activity discounts from nearby sports facilities or internal options to relax.
  • Free counselling through an employee assist program.

Healthy Minds workshops and training combines the wisdom of lived experience and clinical research to provide the most up to date and relevant workplace wellness content.
