Workplace and Community Training
At Lifeline Melbourne, we know that anyone can be faced with a crisis - their own or someone else's. Sometimes this is in the workplace where staff are supporting clients in crisis; sometimes it is in the community or in our personal lives.
Skills that build safer, more resilient workplaces
-
Having the skills to support others, and to know how to seek help is the key to promoting strong, effective, and resilient workplaces and communities.
At Lifeline Melbourne, our Workplace and Community Training has helped people develop these key skills in businesses and government departments, sporting and community groups, and in education and health settings.
We also recognise that workplaces in our community are not immune from the impact of mental health issues and suicide.
Research has shown that it is essential to offer health and wellbeing programs in the workplace to:
Increase staff engagement and job satisfaction
Improve work performance and productivity
Reduce costs associated with underperformance, absenteeism, and workers’ compensation
Improve organisational culture and staff retention
Demonstrate corporate social responsibility
