Why attend the Engaging Leaders course?

Aussie workplaces annually loose over 6 million working days due to mental illness and many people delay seeking help until it takes a great toll on their wellbeing. Early intervention with mental health issues can be critical to prevent a small problem turning into a major crisis. By training staff, raising the awareness of mental health and removing the stigma often associated with these conditions organisations can make a real difference to employee mental health and worker productivity. By implementing MHFA training, managers can encourage people to talk about mental health issues and help them to take action early and get the professional help needed to overcome their condition before it develops into a crisis.
