Supportive Relationships in the Workplace

This workshop is being offered FREE to eligible workers (whether currently employed or not) in the Construction industry in:

• Brisbane;
• Ipswich;
• Rockhampton; and
• Mackay

thanks to generous funding from Construction Skills Queensland.

Overview

This peer support workshop for adults in the workplace, adopts a powerful person-centred approach to problem prevention and to addressing a range of issues that impact on people including social isolation, bullying, mental health concerns and suicide.

Peer prevention programs are based on the evidence that individuals often turn to a peer for support for stressful life events. Participants are upskilled to respond appropriately when a peer or co-worker discloses a personal crisis, thereby making these informal interactions more structured, effective, and safe.

Outcomes

Participants are supported to:

• Define and understand peer support

• Define and understand values and how they impact on our interactions with others

• Develop empathic communication skills

• Problem-solve and support peers to problem-solve using a simple model

• Take care of their wellbeing
