Mental health training for disability support teams.
Your support workers are often the first person there when a client becomes unwell. This nationally recognised course gives them the skills to respond, and to look after themselves afterwards.
We come to you, on your roster, 7 days a week, in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. And there's no minimum group size.
What your staff walk away with
Your support workers see a lot: a client who suddenly withdraws or becomes distressed, a family carer at breaking point, a colleague who comes back quiet after a hard shift on their own. Most handle it on instinct. This course gives that instinct a framework, and a certificate to go with it.
-
How to notice early signs of distress in clients, in colleagues and in themselves
-
The confidence to start a supportive conversation, and what to say when someone has shut down
-
Clear steps for referring someone to the right help, inside and outside your organisation
-
Simple, realistic ways to recover after a tough shift
