How Are We Different?
Recovery Approach
The WMHI adopts a recovery oriented approach to mental health and wellbeing, which means that our focus is on building strength and resilience not illness. This may see like a subtle distinction, but it’s a vital one. It means we don’t teach people how to look for problems that aren’t there, or how to make themselves unwell. We teach them how to confidently and skilfully manage mental health in the workplace, while staying emotionally fit themselves. It also means that our courses incorporate diverse perspectives on mental health and wellness, something that makes them unique in the industry, and particularly popular for organisations with diverse workforces.
“We teach people how to be well, not ill.
– PETER DIAZ, CEO
A Unique Blend Of Management Know-How & Mental Health Expertise
Workplace Focus and Understanding
We take a unique approach to managing mental health at work, and understand the complexities involved in supporting people where mental health issues are concerned, while also ensuring that the business performs at optimal standard. We believe that these are not mutually exclusive.
Our Specialists are not only experienced and fully qualified clinicians. They also have experience in Leadership and Management positions, so they know how to balance the needs of the individual staff, the team and the business.
Fully Qualified Professionals
Our Qualified Workplace Mental Health Specialists
All our specialists are qualified clinicians (psychologists, accredited mental health social workers, counsellors, coaches etc) with extensive experience in mental health, and are equally qualified and experienced in business management and leadership, so they understand the unique challenges facing organisations when it comes to mental health and wellbeing.
All our Specialists are carefully selected for the following criteria:
1. Fully qualified and experienced mental health professionals (psychologists, mental health social workers, licensed psychotherapists, etc)
All undergo a comprehensive induction and ongoing professional development program with the Workplace Mental Health Institute.
National and International Capacity
We’ll come to you - anywhere and everywhere you and your people are. With experienced Workplace Mental Health Specialists located in major cities globally, we offer services internationally, both in person and online in interactive virtual classrooms, with the capacity to deliver a large number of programs that are consistent in content and quality, while also delivered with an understanding and appreciation for diverse cultural perspectives.
Practical Skills, not just Awareness
Practical Skills
While knowledge of a subject can lead to understanding, it’s skills that leads to real outcomes.Our training is highly-practical and interactive.
Your team members will be equipped with proven strategies they can use every day to achieve higher levels of productivity, increased creativity, and a greater capacity to solve problems, more effective teamwork, and a healthy, happy morale throughout the organisation.
What Are Our Courses Like?
Our training is pragmatic, interactive, and participants are engaged through activities and exercises, group discussions, videos, games and case scenarios.
We ensure participants not only have an awareness and knowledge of mental health issues, but also learn practical skills in how to respond to mental health situations in your organisation.
And, our courses are fun!
Mental health can be a sensitive topic for some, so we approach it in a light and non-confrontational way.
Of course, we take mental health seriously, but we also know that people learn best while having fun, so we make sure that participants actually enjoy the experience, and take away as much as possible from the course.

What Our Clients Say
Outstanding training! Highly qualified which made for active listening. Articulated exceptionally well. Thanks for a great presentation.
Rufus Anthony, MSS Security
Created a very comfortable environment. I felt more empowered and I can use these skills in my personal life dealing with the people suffering from a mental health issue.
Jenny Goulding, GIO SuncorpIt was great attending your course. There was so much valuable information and you made it both fun and interactive. Sometimes it is hard to gauge or to know what to say or ask him without ‘crossing the line’, but I am so much more confident now in dealing with the issue of someone suffering from a mental illness.

I just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for the wonderful inspiration you have energised in me again with participating in the leaders masterclass! Wow! I have never felt so energised leaving a full day session. There's so much more I understand now "just get it" from the day! I have completed so many courses both professionally and personally, but this one just literally blows my mind
Dahna Redding, ECHO Entertainment GroupExceptional! Great real life examples. The training provided tools for the leaders, the facilitators were extremely experienced, it was professional and had great content!
