Mental Health Seminars And Workshops

Acknowledging and fostering mental health is a crucial aspect of establishing a secure and thriving workplace. It is vital for both managers and employees to share the responsibility of cultivating a safe work environment. By adopting a proactive stance towards mental health at work, you will motivate your employees to optimise their wellbeing, enhance resilience, and facilitate long-term recovery from mental health challenges.

Our mental health training programs have a twofold objective: to combat the stigma surrounding mental illness and to empower employees to initiate conversations about mental health. Through our programs, attendees gain valuable tools for engaging in ‘difficult conversations’ and acquiring knowledge about the signs and symptoms of mental illness.

By equipping participants with these skills, we foster an inclusive work environment where employees feel supported by their managers and colleagues. Our training not only aims to cultivate resilience but also educates employees on identifying signs and symptoms of mental illness. Furthermore, we provide practical strategies for managing individual mental health and offer tips on how to effectively support others in their mental well-being.

Studies indicate that approximately one in five individuals of working age are likely to experience a mental health condition, while 45% of Australians will face a mental health or substance use disorder at some point in their lives. Disturbingly, mental health concerns are estimated to impose a financial burden of $11 billion annually on Australian businesses. Given these alarming statistics, this is an issue that workplaces (and society) can no longer afford to ignore.

The impact of mental illness varies greatly among individuals, affecting not only the person themselves but also their family, friends, and colleagues in the workplace. To support mental health and cultivate a mentally healthy work environment, there are various approaches that can be taken. While we provide a range of programs, it’s important to recognise that each organisation is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable.
For your organisation, a tailored workplace mental health program may be the most effective solution. Healthworks offers customised seminars that specifically address relevant mental health issues within your workforce. Additionally, we provide comprehensive programs aimed at raising awareness about mental wellbeing and specialised initiatives that equip individuals with the necessary tools to thrive and flourish in their work.
No matter what your specific needs may be, our team of experts in this field can design a program to proactively address the mental health needs of your workforce.

Are your employees in need of enhanced calmness and focus? Do they require better resilience and stress management techniques? The solution lies in workplace mindfulness training. Equip your employees with the necessary skills to remain composed and focused even in high-pressure situations.

Our mindfulness training program includes:

• 4-week workplace mindfulness classes
• Includes 4 x 30-minute sessions or 4 x 45-minute sessions
• A one-off 45-minute workshop which includes 15-minutes of practice time

Classes are run onsite by trained mindfulness and meditation practitioners.

Mindfulness has a profound influence on the workplace, leading to numerous benefits for employees. Those who practice mindfulness exhibit increased calmness, centeredness, and focus. Moreover, mindfulness has been linked to improved engagement, emotional intelligence, and communication within the workplace.

Workplace Mindfulness Training plays a crucial role in stress management, equipping employees with effective techniques to navigate and mitigate stress. Additionally, it enhances resilience, boosts creativity, improves productivity, and cultivates adept conflict management skills.
