Session Overview


Do you feel confident to help someone who might be experiencing a mental health problem?
The incidence of mental health problems in Australia is already high, but with COVID-19, we expect to see a spike in people experiencing mental health problems right now, and over the next 12 months.

One in five Australians will experience a mental health issue in any given year and 45% of people between the ages of 16 and 86 will experience a mental health issue in their lifetime.

For us in the VET Sector, these statistics are very real. They mean that 20% of our students, staff, colleagues and people around us will experience a mental health issue this year.

Mental Health issues affect a person’s life in many ways, from very subtly, to life changing effects.  But, with some basic knowledge and a set of skills behind us, we can confidently and competently assist someone when they experience a mental health issue.

In this 90 minute webinar, you will take a look at mental health in some detail, and be introduced to some easy ways to build your skills in the area of mental health.
