WA MENTAL HEALTH WORKPLACE TRAINING
Building stronger, supportive workplaces
Mental health is just as important as physical safety in today’s workplace. Psychosocial harm or injury can have significant, long-lasting impacts, which is why a proactive approach to managing psychosocial hazards and risks is essential. Mentally healthy workplaces benefit from improved productivity, stronger engagement, better working relationships, higher staff retention and a safer overall environment.
Our training programs help organisations to:
- Comply with WA’s Work Health and Safety laws
- Reduce stigma and promote early intervention
- Implement effective peer support training
- Prepare teams with knowledge and skills that enhance psychosocial safety
On average, every dollar spent to effectively implement a workplace mental health initiative returns $2.30 in benefits.
