Mental Health Awareness for Senior Leaders, Directors & Boards

A focused program for those who carry the WHS duties personally. Recognise the situations that constitute psychological hazards, and build the strategies that stop them escalating before they reach a regulator.

Show More

WHS law defines health to include psychological health, and sets out specific duties to manage psychological risks. Directors carry a heightened degree of responsibility under these laws. This brief course is designed to alert and empower directors and senior leaders, with industry-specific training that protects the leadership team. See the dedicated section below.

Mental health first aid officer

Our flagship accredited course. Participants learn to administer mental health first aid, including recognising deterioration, responding to crisis and connecting colleagues with help, and complete a competency-based assessment.

Show More

Successful participants receive an Actevate Statement of Attainment demonstrating proficiency, renewable through refresher training every two years. Note: mental health first aid courses are not currently part of the VET scheme or training.gov.au, so attainment is issued by Actevate rather than under VET auspices. We're upfront about that because it matters for your training register.

WHY CHOOSE US

Trainers who treat patients on Monday and train your team on Tuesday.

Degree-qualified practitioners.

Every session is delivered by a qualified counsellor or psychologist who are certified members of their professional bodies.

No off-the-shelf courses. Ever.

We don’t believe one hat fits all, so we don’t deliver generic public courses. Every program is tailored to your organisation’s values, beliefs and vision.

Built around your WHS obligations.

WHS laws require employers to do what’s reasonably practicable to eliminate and reduce psychological risks. Our training is one of the practical controls that helps you comply.

DELIVERY OPTIONS

On-Site, Online, or Blended.

On-site

On-site training is delivered at your premises by a certified expert. The course content is tailored to your specific workplace, using your equipment, your layout, and your documented risk assessments as practical examples. This is the most effective format for courses with a practical component.

Online

Online training is delivered live by the same qualified counsellors and psychologists, with teams joining from any location. Sessions stay interactive, with breakout discussions, case studies and live Q&A, and the content is still tailored to your workplace and industry. Ideal for dispersed, hybrid or multi-site teams.

Blended

Blended programs combine facilitated sessions with e-learning modules your people can complete in their own time. Face-to-face or live online time is reserved for practice, discussion and the harder conversations, while foundational content is covered beforehand. A practical option for rolling training out across a large or shift-based workforce.
