Many RRTWCs find the management and return to work of psychological injuries both complex and frustrating.  This four-hour seminar will assist in increasing the understanding of mental illness in four areas:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Psychosis
• Substance abuse

thus, reducing any fear or stigma that may be present.  Mental Health Awareness aims to provide skills and confidence to effectively manage injured workers suffering psychological injury (PPIs).

This seminar does not seek to provide participants with counselling or therapy qualifications; but will clarify the distinctive difference between the role of practising Mental Health First Aid versus that of the medical professional.
