\"\"<\/p>\n

Victoria and Jon shared an insightful introduction to the integrated approach to mental health in the workplace through case study analysis of a prominent client.
\nIt was a fantastic discussion about how mental health and wellbeing training allows organisations to identify, acknowledge and address workplace mental health hazards and risks and how to expire the strategies and supports that can be implemented to optimise the mental health and wellbeing of your workplace.
\nThis presentation also showed the mental health journey that workplaces undertake, including examples of how organisations experience and learn from implementing an integrated approach with mental health and wellbeing as well as value of investing in mental health and wellbeing training and its continual journey and positive impact on a workplace.<\/p>\n
