Promotion is all about supporting employees in the early stages of ill-health, workplace need to actively and continually reduce the stigma around mental health.

We provide practical, workplace-focused support through workshops, work-related counselling, critical incident debriefs, and consultancy/advice — helping local governments create healthier, safer, and more responsive work environments.

Our workshop program is designed to strengthen awareness, confidence, and practical skills across all levels of local governments. Each session is focused on real workplace issues and gives participants practical strategies they can apply immediately.

  • Session 2: Prevention (full day — 6.5 hours)
    A practical session focused on prevention strategies, including leadership behaviours, workplace culture, psychosocial risk awareness, and proactive steps leaders can take to reduce the likelihood of psychological harm.
  • Session 3: Intervention (full day — 6.5 hours)

Together, these sessions support leaders to respond with empathy, confidence and accountability while strengthening team wellbeing and organisational capability
