PROTECT YOUR TEAM WITH A UNIQUE PROACTIVE MENTAL HEALTH APPROACH. 

Nationally-recognised certified Resilience First Aid Training that teaches strength-based skills to mental health champions within your workplace.

Looking tO BUILD MENTAL WELLNESS THAT WILL CREATE LASTING CHANGE?

Only 1 in 10 people have resilience that’s strong enough to protect against mental illness. This means 9 out of 10 of your employees may benefit from increasing resilience skills to boost protection against depression, anxiety, and other forms of mental ill-health.

In Australia, the mental health crisis costs somewhere between $43 billion and $51 billion per year, while a further $130 billion is the cost of the loss in productivity due to the mental health issues.

Under Australian Work Health Safety laws, businesses must also eliminate or minimise psychosocial risks so far as is reasonably practicable according to the Australian Government's model code of practice for managing psychosocial hazards at work.

This is why we need to take a preventative approach to mental health. Rather than waiting until people need professional treatment, we can start supporting each other to connect and build mental wellness proactively.

Resilience First Aid Responder Certification

HOW WE CAN HELP

Proactive mental health is more affordable and accessible, and comes with more benefits than reactive mental illness treatment.

As a certified Resilience First Aid Instructor, our founder Wendy Jenkins is qualified to train employees within your workplace to become certified Resilience First Aid Responders. This nationally-recognised training program is accredited under the Australian Government's Suicide Prevention Framework.

This is a new approach to put trained mental health champions in place who actively boost the resilience and mental health of their colleagues. It is an excellent complement to existing wellbeing programs with a focus on strength-based preventive mental health.

Getting certified in Resilience First Aid means that participants will learn about an existing set of science-based skills including:

“Don't wait until your team around you are really struggling. Take on the challenge now to build mental health proactively. This is how we can make a long-term impact. When we care earlier for the mental wellbeing of our colleagues, friends and family, we can start to shift this global trend. This means we bring forward mental health intervention and we focus on building strengths in ourselves and each other – protective factors that prevent depression and mental illness through improved resilience and wellbeing. This is proactive mental health.” 

as a forward-thinking business, you can join us in creating a movement to be proactive about mental health.
