Mental Health First Aid could save a life...and your bottom line.
Depression alone costs Australian businesses $2.5 billion annually in absenteeism and $900 million in impairment at work. Given that there is such a high prevalence of mental health disorders, the impacts can be felt in workplaces through increased absenteeism, safety issues and reduced productivity.
Mental Health First Aid training can assist your organisation to:
- Increase awareness and understanding of mental health issues among staff
- Develop policies and programs to support people with mental health disorders
- Promote positive workplace mental health
- Determine appropriate job accommodations for employees with mental health disorders
Mental Health First Aid is an internationally acclaimed 12 hour certificate course, which was developed at the Australian National University.
