Mental Health
Our Mental Health Courses
One in four Australians experience a mental illness at some point in their lives. That means right now, some of your staff either have or are recovering from a mental health disorder.
Our mental health courses include introductory education for workplaces and community groups, along with courses for those working in human services. We cover a range of specific diagnoses such as depression, anxiety and psychosis, along with courses about various aspects of mental wellbeing.
Who are these courses for?
Led by an Aboriginal trainer, this course is for those working with Aboriginal people who want to gain insight into mental health and wellbeing through an Aboriginal cultural lens. Learn to recognise warning signs of mental health issues and how to respond.
