Heads Up is a brilliant Australian website with a wealth of resources for employers and employees. Don’t miss…
- The Getting Started Pack
- “Developing a workplace mental health strategy: A how-to guide for organisations” and other strategic planning tools.
- The Action Plan creation tool (you’ll wish you had one of these for every domain of your work).
- The engaging e-learning modules, with a couple – including, “What would you do? Approaching an employee you’re concerned about” – that can be imported into your company’s learning management system.
The site is provided by beyondblue, an Australian charity that works to “raise awareness of depression, anxiety and suicide prevention, reduce the stigma surrounding these issues and to encourage people to seek support when they need it.”
