Today marks the start of ‘Conversations on Mental Wellness’ at Northern Health, with the OHS & Wellbeing team officially launching the week this afternoon across all sites.

Our lives can get busy juggling very fast paced working environments, family, friends and interests outside of work.

That is why we need to stop, take a break and talk about our mental wellness. As an organisation, we started ‘Conversations on Mental Wellness’ last year, and will continue those conversations this year as well.

Additionally, the week will include education around a number of mental health and wellbeing focus areas, and strategies and tools to support mental and physical health to maximise wellbeing.

Events and activities will include guest speakers, a panel discussion, Grand Round, yoga sessions, TREAT rest and recovery sessions, seated massage sessions and seminars on nutrition and mental health.

All events throughout the week are free and will provide a good balance between guest speaker sessions and practical self-care sessions. Check out the full timetable of events below!
