Leading Mental Health and Wellbeing (Workplace and Community)

Learn how to lead for change: to promote mental wellbeing, develop yourself,support those experiencing difficulties,and mitigate risk by designing for mentally healthy workplaces and communities.

The Leading Mental Health and Wellbeing (Workplace and Community) program from Flinders University is designed to help workplaces and communities thrive, by building the capacity of leaders, staff and volunteers to enact evidence-based mental health and wellbeing practice.

Unlike other mental health qualifications that primarily focus on mental illness(often within a medical-health framework), this program takes a broader perspective, equipping participants with skills and knowledge to implement strategy (and lead by personal practice) within organisations or community to reduce the risk of mental ill healthand foster mental health and wellbeing.
