Why It Matters
With 1 in 5 individuals experiencing mental health problems annually, fostering a supportive and knowledgeable workplace can enhance mental well-being, productivity, and overall success. In Australia alone, untreated mental illness incurs an annual cost of $10.8 billion for businesses (Source: Mental Health First Aid Australia)
Our Approach
Exploring Minds is dedicated to providing engaging, evidence-based mental health education and training, aiming to empower individuals, communities and workplaces. Our programs focus on enhancing knowledge, resilience, and challenging mental health stigma, striving to advance prevention and early intervention efforts.
Through comprehensive education and training, we equip participants with skills to recognise mental health issues, initiate supportive conversations, and access appropriate support services. Our approach emphasises open and empathetic dialogue, aiming to break down barriers to seeking help and fostering a culture of mental health awareness and acceptance.
Focus Areas
Exploring Minds takes pride in offering a diverse range of accredited mental health courses, as well as tailor-made programs to suit the specific needs of organisations and communities.
Accredited Courses
Specialised Training
Trauma-Informed Care
Mental Health Wellbeing (including burnout prevention and self-care)
Healthy Communication
Customised courses and programs are available on request.
When a community is well-informed about mental health problems and equipped with the skills to have supportive conversations and how to access appropriate mental health supports, it creates an environment of understanding, confidence and empathy. This not only reduces stigma surrounding mental health problems, but also promotes early intervention and prevention of more severe mental health challenges, including suicide.
