Can you help with WorkSafe psychosocial hazards?
Yes. Our Psychosocial Safety at Work workshops cover employer duties under the Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 and Victoria's psychological health regulations, with practical risk management for managers and HR.
Is de-escalation training the same as restraint training?
No. Our program is prevention-first. It focuses on why behaviour escalates, staff self-regulation and communication that reduces threat.
Do you train schools and NDIS teams?
Yes. Schools can book trauma-aware education, supporting students with anxiety, and de-escalation for staff. NDIS providers use MHFA and de-escalation training to support staff after incidents and reduce turnover.
Are courses suitable for beginners?
Yes. Chair yoga, TCTSY and many wellbeing workshops are beginner-friendly and options-based. Standard MHFA is designed for people with or without a mental health background.
