While all physical health indicators have been steadily improving over the last 50 years, mental health appears to have been getting worse, especially in developed, English speaking countries such as Australia. Much of this is attributed to a reduction in personal support due to greater mobility and reduced participation in organised activities (religion, organised sport etc.) and the growth of a “culture of victimhood”. All this has led to declining levels of personal resilience.

A Critical Incident is a sudden, unexpected event which has the potential to cause disruption to routines and functioning and create a significant degree of stress for those involved.

Fit for work means that an individual is in a state (physically, mentally, and emotionally) that allows them to perform their assigned duties effectively and does not threaten their own or others’ safety or health.

The Wellness Support Program is an initiative designed to ‘check in’ with individuals who may have recently experienced an increase of stress or distress as a result of an event or general occurrence.

When people are in conflict, emotions run high, trust disappears, judgment becomes clouded and one or both parties feel intimidated by the other. In such situations a skilled third party can assist each person to clearly specify their concerns and identify what may assist in reducing or resolving the conflict.

Formal Counselling may occur as part of an agreed mental health plan between the organisation and employee.
