Better Mental Health and Wellbeing at Work A broad understanding of the factors that impact on your mental health in the workplace. This may include stressors coming from outside of work, plus workload, relationships, diet and many others. The focus is on your own mental health and how you might support others. Understanding Psychosocial Hazards for Workers Enhance your understanding of psychosocial hazards, the role you play in reporting those hazards and what you can do to reduce the impact of those hazards. As a worker, you may be exposed to these hazards, so this course will offer strategies on how you might respond. Psychological Safety and Psychosocial Risk for Directors, Officers, Leaders and Managers Get clarity on your responsibilities as a leader to provide both a physically safe and a psychologically safe working environment. This is particularly important given the recent changes to the WHS legislation. The onus is on leaders to ensure risks are identified and action is taken to eliminate or reduce the impact of those risks.

Our facilitators are adept at guiding discussions that honour confidentiality, encourage diverse perspectives and uphold the rights of every person. We are committed to supporting participants as they share their experiences, ensuring that they contributions are made in a respectful and sensitive manner.
