Mental health support workshop
PsychAware is a one day workshop which seeks to build the capacity of individuals and communities to be able to identify and assist people within their community who may be at risk of depression, suicide and other mental health issues.
Participants are taught to know what to look out for in other community members who have been affected by traumatic events and crisis and will provide them with strategies to assist these members of their community.
This workshop helps participants to:
- explore how people respond during and after traumatic events
- identify ways to assist people who have been affected by a potentially traumatic event (e.g. a drought)
- identify and assist people who may be at risk of suicide, depression and other mental health issues
- explore ways to look after themselves while assisting others.
It is a free workshop open to all members of the community.
Lunch and afternoon tea will be provided.
