DUAL ANZ Webinar

Supporting mental health in the workplace

Details and FAQ
Speakers

Join us for an expert panel hosted by Damien Coates (CEO and Mental Health Ambassador, DUAL ANZ), Dr Aimee Gayed (Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Workplace Mental Health, Black Dog Institute) and moderated by Whitney Ignatiadis (Head of HR & People, DUAL ANZ).

With the introduction of psychosocial hazards legislation, many leaders and managers are finding themselves uncertain about how to approach mental health conversations. There’s often a fear of saying the wrong thing, or of difficult conversations being misinterpreted. While most leaders genuinely want to support their teams, knowing how to do that in a safe and constructive way isn’t always straightforward.

This webinar will explore how organisations can respond in a way that supports both their people and their performance. Our presenters will share practical, evidence-based approaches to help leaders and managers build healthier, more confident conversations around mental health.
