Workplace Training Program Overview
We understand every team requires unique mental health training.
Participants learn the foundations of mental health literacy, including:
- How to identify behaviours indicating a mental health concern
- How to support self and others
- How to access information and resources
Our methodology
We understand every workplace – and even smaller teams – are unique. Successful mental health programs require good planning, clear communication and teamwork.

Delivery options and session types
Our mental health programs are available either F2F, hybrid or virtual.
Each of the following offers can cover one topic per session. To establish long-term, sustainable mental health practices in your organisation, we recommend starting with Mental Health 101 and/or the Leader and Manager session.
All we need from you is a suitable venue, microphones (for groups over 80 people), survey distribution and collection.
Session time and group size may vary
Mind Blank Founder and CEO, Ally Kelly, is available for keynote speeches (15-30 minutes) or intimate, small group conversations (30-60 minutes, up to 20 people). In Mental Health 101, Ally provides a glimpse into her lived experience, demonstrates methods for self-care and wellbeing, and instructs participants where and how to access mental health resources.
90 minutes, up to 30 people
Leaders and Managers learn how to identify early warning signs of a mental health problem, manage difficult team dynamics, provide regular wellbeing support, and sensitively refer employees for help.
60 minutes, up to 150 people
This interactive session involves professional actors performing a scene about a common workplace scenario, followed by a facilitated discussion.
90 – 120 minutes, up to 150 people
A team of professional actors present a series of scenarios based on real-life mental health issues. Audience members are invited to provide input and feedback, including “directing” the actors to achieve different conclusions.
90 minutes, up to 150 people
After a Lunch and Learn or Deep Dive Session, employees and managers are separated and a 60 minute mental health action planning process is facilitated for each group. In the last 30 minutes, employees and managers are brought back together to discuss their ideas and determine how to better work together to achieve mental health objectives in the workplace. This is especially useful for teams with existing culture issues.

Mind Blank programs are accredited by Suicide Prevention Australia and support the Work Health and Safety Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work Code of Practice.
There are no quick fixes for mental health. Studies have shown ongoing training is necessary to generate long-term outcomes. Mind Blank’s approach to mental health education is comprehensive, collaborative and emphasises lasting and sustainable results.
