Everymind is conducting an evaluation of a new national online program for Australian small business owners, which aims to enhance capacity and confidence in promoting positive mental health and wellbeing within their business.
The new small business online training program will help develop the knowledge, skills and practices small business owners need to support the wellbeing of their business, and provide early intervention when needed. The program also encourages small business owners to reflect on their own mental health and wellbeing.
The program will deliver a variety activities, case studies, information sheets and lived experience videos which explore key topic areas of mental health, wellbeing, coping with stress, help-seeking strategies and action planning.
There will be four, 10-15 minute modules to complete over four weeks, each containing practical tips and tools, and reflective questions.
Registrations for this training program are now closed.
This evaluation is being conducted by researchers from Everymind as part of the Ahead for Business program with funding from the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources.
If you develop policy for small business owners or provide services to them, then you have an opportunity to support both their mental health and business health. You also have the chance to educate the broader community on how they can support small business.
The Rural Agribusiness Wellbeing Plan can help you improve and maintain your mental health and manage the day-to-day stress of work, as well as challenging times like busy seasons or adverse events.
