Mental health unpacked
Understand the basics, break stigma and build a mentally healthy workplace or community.
Richmind WA’s Mental Health Unpacked training equips participants with the knowledge and confidence to recognise mental health challenges, have supportive conversations and promote wellbeing. This practical and engaging session helps reduce stigma, increase awareness and empower individuals and teams to create a mentally healthy environment.
Why attend?
Mental health affects everyone, yet many people lack the confidence to recognise when someone may be struggling or how to start a supportive conversation. This training provides practical knowledge, evidence-informed information and useful tools that can be applied in both workplace and community settings.
Participants will gain a greater understanding of mental health, learn how to identify signs that someone may be experiencing challenges and develop confidence to support others appropriately while maintaining their own wellbeing.
