beyondblue e-learning program

As part of beyondblue’s strategy to increase awareness and understanding of depression and anxiety disorders in the workplace they are developing free e-learning resources. The first of these resources, the Workplace Mental Health Awareness e-learning Program, is now available on the beyondblue website at http://www.beyondblue.org.au/workplace


This program looks at myths and misconceptions about depression and anxiety disorders, and aims to raise awareness about these common conditions, including signs and symptoms, and how to help someone you’re concerned about.

The e-learning program:

• includes activities, scenarios and videos that build understanding of depression and anxiety disorders
• allows participants to choose the way in which they would like to explore the content
• takes about 20 minutes to work through.

This online program can be completed by CFA members in their own time and at their own pace. It will assist with awareness of how mental health issues can present and how to help members you may be concerned about.

Please forward on this email to your team or brigade members if you think it will be of benefit to them.
