Time for Wellbeing and BHP are partnering with Rural and Remote Mental Health to host important workshops promoting mental health awareness in our community. Two sessions are being held; one out on site at Olympic Dam for BHP staff and contractors and one in the Roxby Community Hub for local residents and workplaces based in town.

1) Monday 10th February, 1pm - 5pm - SafeTALK Workshop

SafeTALK is a half-day training in suicide alertness, developed, maintained and evaluated by LivingWorks (www.livingworks.com.au ). It helps participants recognise a person with thoughts of suicide and connect them with resources that can help them. Participants don’t need any formal preparation to attend the training and it is suitable for anyone over the age of 15.

This session is being held at the Pat’s Centre Olympic Dam so that it is accessible to BHP and contractor representatives. Places in the Pat’s Centre are limited so please register your interest with Angela Lafferty – angela@healthyenvirons.com.au.

2) Tuesday the 11th February. 5pm - 9pm. Resourceful Communities Workshop.

Roxby Downs Community Hub (old blockbuster building) Richardson Place, Roxby Downs

Rural Minds for Resourceful Communities is a comprehensive mental health awareness program designed by people living in rural Australia and working in mining and resource industries. This workshop is for anyone, above 18, with an interest in strengthening and giving back to their community! We welcome local residents, teachers and business owners/representatives along to this session.
