The Working Mind

Empower your workforce with proven mental health training designed for modern workplaces.

At Wellbeing Campus, we bring The Working Mind — an evidence-based, workplace-focused mental health training program — to organisations and teams across Australia.

Our mission is to equip employees and leaders with the awareness, skills and confidence to support mental health, reduce stigma, and foster a culture of psychological safety at work.

What is The Working Mind (TWM)?

The Working Mind is a proven mental-health training program originally developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) under its Opening Minds initiative, lauched in Australia in 2026.

TWM one day course is designed to help workplaces:

  • Recognise signs of good, deteriorating, or poor mental health in themselves and others

  • Understand mental health as a continuum — a dynamic state that can change over time

  • Reduce stigma around mental illness and open up safe, respectful conversations about mental health at work

  • Build individual resilience and healthy coping strategies for stress

  • For managers: develop the knowledge and tools to support their teams’ mental wellbeing, identify warning signs, and respond appropriately to challenges or crises

The Course Fomat

TWM is delivered in two versions — one for employees, and one designed for managers / team leaders. Courses can be run online or face-to-face, and are available as cohort trainings for teams or entire organisations.

Key Objectives:

  • Recognize signs of good, declining, and poor mental health.

  • Understand mental health as a continuum.

  • Understand and reduce stigma and barriers to care in the workplace.

  • Engage in mental health conversations with others.

  • Identify stressors and apply coping and self-care strategies.

  • Support team mental health with tools and resources (managers only)

Course Modules

  • Module 1 — Mental Health & Stigma: explore definitions of mental health, common misconceptions, and how stigma affects individuals and the workplace.

  • Module 2 — Mental Health Continuum & Awareness: learn to use the Mental Health Continuum as a tool to recognise changes in wellbeing — for yourself and others.

  • Module 3 — Stress, Resilience & Coping: identify stressors, discuss their impact, and practise evidence-based coping strategies and self-care to maintain resilience.

  • Module 4 — Supporting Your Team (Managers only): tailored for supervisors and team-leaders — how to create psychologically safe environments, support individuals in distress, and respond to critical incidents or ongoing workplace stress.
