Mental Health First Aid International (MHFAI) recognises that fostering mentally healthy workplace cultures is as important as equipping individuals to respond to mental health problems and crises. MHFAI has obtained the license from Opening Minds to deliver TWM in Australia.
This collaboration enables us to offer organisations an additional, evidence-based program focused on workplace resilience, mental health awareness, and stigma reduction.
The Working Mind complements MHFAI's existing programs by focusing on organisational culture change.
We receive feedback from workplaces that a shorter course is needed to train more staff with mental health awareness and skills. This addition meets that need, offering training sessions for 5 hours (employees) or 8 hours (Leaders/Managers).
Will TWM replace any existing MHFA programs?
No. TWM is a complementary program and does not replace any MHFA courses. It broadens MHFAI’s suite of training options, enabling us to offer workplaces and communities a more comprehensive approach to mental health education.
