  In any given year a staggering 1 in 5 people suffer from a mental health problem. There's a very good chance that right now someone close to you is secretly and silently suffering. Unattended, that suffering could lead to substantially more debilitating and serious issues such as alcholism, drug use, depression, anxiety and psychosis.Mental Health Social Support (MHSS) trains you to identify the signals of early onset mental illness, trains you in support skills and how and when to refer to a professional. MHSS is one of the most crucial life skills that everyone should have, as each and everyone of us has a duty of care to our loved ones and colleagues.The course will take 1 to 1.5dys of your time where you will be given a workshop that is fun, interactive; where I will bring the theory alive with professional and personal examples and activities - don't expect to come and fall asleep! MHSS course info: http://www.mhss.net.au/lz and look for Robert Taylor. I can also arrange workshops outside the ones listed, and at any location in Australia or overseas. Learning sessions can be undertaken via one-on-one, small groups or at size to match the employee profile of your company (session content and duration can be adjusted to meet the needs of your company and time availability).
