MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID WORKPLACE TRAINING

​Empower your staff to become Mental Health First Aiders

​

Every year, one in five Australians will experience a common mental health condition. This means that every day, millions of Australians go to work while living with a mental health problem, and the impact can be significant, affecting workplace productivity, performance, and safety.

​

Understanding how to confidently approach and talk about mental health in the workplace, with the aim of supporting someone in need, is a skill everyone can learn. The goal is to break down the stigma and culture of silence, especially within aviation.

​
