Better Mental Health in Construction – FREE Course
Free course, proudly funded by Construction Skills Queensland
Description
Expertly designed for workers in the construction industry to gain the essential skills, knowledge and confidence to support your colleagues through a mental health crisis, and also recognise changes in your own mental health behaviours. St John Ambulance Queensland has proudly partnered with Construction Skills Queensland to deliver a free Better Mental Health in Construction course.
Mental Illness and its Impact on the Construction Industry
Mental illness is a leading factor in deaths by suicide and suicide attempts. Every year, 190 construction workers take their own lives across Australia, a sobering statistic for an industry that represents almost 10% of the working population.
Course Overview
The course provides participants with information on common mental illnesses, including depression and anxiety, as well as post-traumatic stress, suicidal thoughts and substance use disorders.
Participants will learn how to identify people who may be suffering from mental health problems, provide initial support and referral to professional services where appropriate.
Participants will also learn how to promote mentally healthy workplaces and are provided with strategies with how to look after themselves.
Eligibility
Eligibility for attending a course will be assessed as part of the course enrolment process. Students are required to provide evidence of employment in the building and construction industry within Queensland, be over 16 years of age, have functional English language skills and meet citizenship / residency / visa eligibility criteria.
