Business Mental Health Education – Delivered by LIVIN

Earlier this year, the Southern Gold Coast Chamber of Commerce was successful in applying for a Chamber Wellness Fund Grant from the Queensland State Government. As a result, we are proud to be offering our Chamber constituents the opportunity to attend one of these FREE sessions facilitated by LIVIN. One session will be held each month over September, October, and November 2023.

Each 45 minute program has been specifically designed to educate workplace participants on a range of issues related to mental health, with an emphasis on breaking the stigma of mental health and encouraging help-seeking behaviour. It is delivered by experienced, highly relatable and carefully selected facilitators that have a blend of lived experience and mental health training.  The LIVINWell program is appropriate for all audiences and tailored to meet the unique needs of all people. When delivered privately, LIVINWell sessions cost from $1,500 per session for up to 30 staff, so this opportunity is one not to be missed! We encourage you and your team (of up to 5 registered attendees for each session) to attend. 

What to expect:

LIVINWell is a 45 minute program with a specific focus on helping participants to better understand mental health in the workplace. Delivered by carefully selected and experienced facilitators, upon completion of the program your employees will be equipped with:

• Strategies to help colleagues, friends or family who may be at risk or struggling
