MENTAL HEALTH FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR AUSTRALIAN SMEs

We are funding Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through the ShareTree Community Support Fund to establish effective and sustainable mental health practices. As 43% – 64% of SMEs typically experience a mental health strain, the current usage of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) stands at a mere 6% and some SMEs can’t afford EAP services. To address this gap in support, ShareTree have developed a Mental Health & Wellbeing Program designed to empower SMEs to improve upon skills, optimise culture and process. This will be achieved through a group learning community that supports, shares and learns from each other, coupled with mental health knowledge, resources and technology solutions to create a significant shift in the following areas:

outcomes of the program

The Mental Health Fund Program is a 9-week program containing the Mental Health First Responders course. This course is designed to empower people under a DIY model to activate a full mental health and well-being workplace program. The breakdown of the full implementation roadmap is highlighted below:

PROGRAM ROADMAP

As a registered Child and Family Psychologist who lectured at the University of Melbourne in a School Leadership Master's Degree for school principals, I can confidently say that the ShareTree folks are at the cutting edge of the sciences of education, psychology, and whole organization change. They are innovative, dedicated, and determined in their practical idealism to benefit humanity. I have worked with them on several projects over the last 6 years and find them usually far ahead of the most recent science. I "retired" at 68 years old back to New Zealand. Otherwise, they would be my first choice of people to work alongside.

I recently completed the Mental Health First Responders online course. What a great experience! I loved the content and how it was presented. The course contained so many helpful supplementary resources which added to my learning experience. I also loved the wonderful balance between practical "in the moment" ideas and lots of more holistic and systemic thinking regarding mental health and wellbeing. Thank you, ShareTree for a great course!

I work in workplace wellbeing and deal with mental health policies, practices, and issues daily. This training was a fantastic way for me to upskill and gain greater confidence in managing mental health in all settings, not just the workplace. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve themselves and help those around them.

The leaders at ShareTree truly understand people. They encourage you to conduct a self-review and set goals for your own development, while assisting you to gain the skills to lead your team. I cannot speak more highly of Steven and Rhys. The facilitation skills they both hold is incredibly strong. Steven is a motivator and creates the feeling with all participants that anything is possible. That you too can share in his wisdom and achieve anything that you set your mind to. Rhys is engaging and delivers Mental Health First Responder training with a deep understanding of the topic and issues within life and the workplace.
