In Sydney Education we are committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of staff and patients through education.

R U OK Day is on Thursday 14 September. It is the national day of action where all Australians are reminded to ask, ‘are you OK?’ and start a meaningful conversation if they think somebody might be struggling with life.

It is of course important that we have these conversations every day.

It is estimated that one in five Australian adults will experience a mental illness every year.

R U OK? contributes to suicide prevention efforts by encouraging people to invest more time in their personal relationships and building the capacity of informal support networks – friends, family, and colleagues – to be alert to those around them, have a conversation if they identify signs of distress or difficulty and connect someone to appropriate support, long before they're in crisis.

In Sydney Education we are committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of staff and patients through education. We offer a wide range of courses that support your wellbeing and help you develop skills to support others. These courses will also provide you with connection to others across the District.

Don’t forget that you also have access to our Coaching Service and our Clinical Supervision Service both of which help support your wellbeing in the workplace.
