Mental Health Awareness provides informative and interactive training, seminars and workshops to raise awareness of mental health issues in the corporate sector, mining sector as well as schools.
Our goal is to get people in the workplace to be aware of what mental health is, how to see early warning signs in themselves and/or others they work with, then to know what to do about it. Sometimes extra support is needed for people in the workplace to deal with the demands of their jobs.

Our courses are very price competitive and we can accommodate up to 15 participants in a course.
We have courses ranging from 2 days, 1 day, half day, 2 hours and 1 hour.

How to look after yourself when looking after someone with mental illness.
Margo, a principal master trainer in Mental Health First Aid, has just delivered the two day Standard Mental Health First Aid Certificate Course to Layne Beachley and our group from Awake Academy. We found Margo to be insightful and knowledgeable. She used excellent examples that were very relevant to our work. Her expertise in the mental health area was valuable to our learning and we found her very competent when discussing sensitive topics. We felt emotionally safe throughout the course. Keep the great work going Margo.
