How we can support your business;
The Battling The Blues wellness program is designed to empower individuals within the workplace to speak up and seek help if they are experiencing mental health issues.
Our key focus is to promote, de-stigmatise and overcome mental health challenges.
By learning and understanding the signs and symptoms of mental health problems, where and how to get help, and what sort of help. Developing strategies to prevent absenteeism and increase productivity. Exploring tools to use for early identification and management.
Positive mental health is important for everyone, no matter how resilient we can be, we all can experience tough times.

Testimonials from our sessions;
“I've had huge feedback from the guys who attended who have expressed how good the session was, both in enabling some people to open up about their own issues, and helping others who apparently have no problems, identify that they can help a mate who is struggling”
– Manager / Energex
“Interestingly, I was approached by two of my guys straight after the event telling me that they thought it was excellent and had made them rethink issues that they were having in their immediate families. They said it gave them a new perspective and possible approach to a remedy.”
