Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Workplace mental health training

Suggestion
Hi there ! Your page is looking really well thought out and organised. I did not want to make any changes without your permission but I suggest that you change the phrase "mentally healthy workplace" as that does not seem to flow well. I suggest you use "healthy workplace", the readers should already be aware that you mean healthy in terms of mental health. Just a suggestion though. You have done an incredibly job ! Well done :) U3210431 (discuss • contribs) 04:28, 5 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi u3210431
 * Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I completely agree that it is a tongue twister, but I was reluctant to change, since the chapter is about mental health training at workplaces. I will take your suggestion and change it. Thanks once again. ArtOfHappiness (discuss • contribs) 07:30, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, your chapter is looking great, it's clear and concise, and provides helpful information. I only have one recommendation. It may be beneficial to add some more interactive parts to your chapter, such as a short quiz. I have also gone through your page and added some wiki links to provide definitions for words a layperson may not understand. Feel free to remove any of the links I added. :) --GabbieUC (discuss • contribs) 04:19, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Suggest for Future of WMHT section
Perhaps one thing you could look into are online workplace mental health training resources, such as LivingWorks START program: https://www.livingworks.com.au/programs/livingworks-start/

I have noted that you mentioned issues with the one-size fits all approach of current training, and accessibility, so an online approach may be worth suggesting for future of WMHT.

Good luck! U3217287 (discuss • contribs) 01:54, 15 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Annabelle
 * Thanks for letting me know. I was surprised that their services were not available in the ACT. Upon closer look, Livingworks offer the same services as the Mental Illness Education ACT (MIEACT). I volunteer with MIEACT, and we cover 98% of schools in Canberra. From next year we are planning to role out a new program to reach out to primary school children. I am playing a significant role in designing the program and its marketing strategy. MIEACT also provides information and education sessions at many government departments and private corporate entities.
 * It is my understanding that programs of MIEACT or Livingworks are useful tools for reducing stigma but not for building resilience amongst people.
 * I am at the word limit for this chapter, maybe later I can mention about developing online training programs to specifically target vulnerable individuals. I assume, like Livingworks and MIEACT these programs must be free and have widespread awareness. I can see a huge advantage of such an approach, people can access and train themselves in their own time and in their own private setting. This setting will also address stigma. I will have a discussion about this idea in our next MIEACT meeting.
 * Thanks a lot, really appreciate your input.
 * Kind regards
