Common risk factors that can affect the mental health of workers in any workplace include:

Top 8 Things Australian Workplaces could do to build a psychologically safe culture

  • Provide support services (EAPs etc)
  • Provide Training and Tools for managers and employees
  • Be flexible (to change or e.g. provide time off) in response to mental illness
  • Reduce stigma
  • Build peer to peer support networks
  • Create a caring environment where employers/colleagues ask if others are OK?

Whether your organisation is large or small, just starting, or a long way into the journey, we have solutions for you.

COVID-19 workplace support: Managing stress in times of uncertainty

With mental health needs on the rise due to COVID-19, many organisations are looking for ways to proactively support employee health and safety and reduce psychological risk. In response, we’ve developed a digital program designed to protect the mental health of your employees throughout the pandemic.

The way we think about work is broken

With 45 percent of Australians experiencing a mental illness some time in their working years, we are all most likely going to be confronted by someone with a mental illness or experience mental illness ourselves, at some stage.

“I’ve done several mental health courses and I must say this was the best. The facilitator was very experienced and qualified and that gave me a sense of confidence that what I’m doing is ok.”

“I took a lot out of the session and can comfortably approach someone that is struggling as well as know the signs for myself.”
