Identify Mental Health Problems Before They Escalate

Around 1 in 5 of your employees suffer from mental health problems. You can’t change that statistic, but you can ensure it doesn’t impact productivity and profitability.

The key is to get to it early. By teaching your staff to recognise the early warning signs and to respond to them appropriately, you can make sure problems don’t fly under the radar, your employees get the support they need, and your workplace culture and productivity don’t suffer unnecessarily.

This course teaches your staff just that. They’ll learn how to identify potential mental health problems and how to respond without causing friction or making matters worse. Importantly, the course focuses on the problems most likely to arise in the workplace (anxiety, depression, substance abuse and psychosis), and the way they’re most likely to manifest themselves.

Many organisations like to use this course as part of their standard induction procedures to make sure that all employees are on the same page, they have ticked the box from a compliance standard, and that they are also communicating to their employees from Day One, that this organisation has a commitment to a mentally healthy working culture.

What is covered in the course:

• What is a Mental Health Problem? - The best language for talking about mental health, and the range of ways in which it’s understood.
  
• How Common are They? - The surprising prevalence of various mental health problems in Australia.
  
• Signs & Symptoms - How to recognise the early warning signs for the most common workplace mental health problems.

Drawing upon the latest scientific research within the fields of neuroscience, positive psychology, and transactional analysis, this course is designed to help you develop a range of personal resilience strategies, well beyond your average self care activities. 

These self reflective activities, based on mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, and coaching methodologies will support you to build emotional resilience and stamina to handle the stresses and challenges of a high pressure environment.

Prevention is better than cure. Always. 

But especially when most suicides are avoidable. 

Did you know that every 40 seconds someone dies of suicide around the world? It’s a staggering statistic, isn’t it? It’s also a pity that so many of us take this option out of desperation and disengagement. The good news is – there are some very useful actions we can take to help people contemplating suicide.

This course is designed to teach workers, community minded people, and family members worldwide the basics of Suicide Prevention. It'll show you what warning signs to look out for, and what to do to prevent suicide, in the form of a very practical 4 Step Response Plan called 'WARM'.

Would you know what to look for? Are you familiar with the warning signs? Would you know what to say? Be prepared.
