Minding Your Business

Free mental health training and support for Tasmanian Small Businesses*

Struggling to keep your head above water? Feeling overwhelmed? Not sure how to look after your own mental health, or that of your team?

Lifeline Tasmania’s Minding Your Business program provides FREE mental health training and support for Small Businesses* in Tasmania.

The program has been designed to be flexible to meet the varying needs of Tasmanian Small Businesses and is currently offering the following training courses:

Accidental Counsellor Crisis Communication Skills Mental Health First Aid 

You will be provided an opportunity to practice responding to someone experiencing an emotional crisis. You will learn how to apply the principles of recognise, respond and refer. These skills can be used by you to support your staff; by employees to support their colleagues; and, where appropriate, by owners and employees to support their customers.

Please note: this course does not qualify you to be a counsellor. 

This course is suited to public-facing businesses and those who work with clients in distress. You will learn how to respond to people in distress; de-escalate a crisis; and identify the risk of burnout and vicarious trauma. You will also increase your understanding and awareness of mental health and the importance of self-care.

Learn how to assist an adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem, or mental health crisis, until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves; using a practical, evidence-based action plan.

Face to face: 4 hours (with optional 2 hours eLearning) Face to face: x 1 full day  Face to face: x 2 full days or x 4 half days
