Creating Psychologically Safe Workplaces
Thursday, 8th September is R U OK? Day and Newport & Wildman would like to support you and your people to feel confident asking “R U OK?” and give you the tools to keep the conversation going. The ongoing pandemic, natural disasters and tragic events over the last year have been challenging for everyone, and this September we are focused on helping people have these conversations and feel confident to respond if someone says they are not OK.
R U OK? Day is often the busiest day of the year for us here at Newport & Wildman. Given the challenges we are facing, we expect this year to be the same. Training sessions sell out quickly.
To book in any of these options or if you have any questions contact the Newport & Wildman Team today.
R U OK? Onsite Clinician
We know that R U OK? conversations throughout September and into Mental Health Month in October can raise difficult emotions for your people. Arranging an R U OK? Onsite provides a proactive setting for your people to access one on one support or in a group. A clinician onsite can provide a timely reminder to your people about their access to EAP and help increase engagement and trust in the service. They can also help to reduce the stigma in accessing an EAP service or can be used in response to a particular concern around a work situation.
Details:
-
- Half Day or Full Day Onsite. Contact the Newport & Wildman Team for a quote.
- Five business days’ notice prior to the onsite delivery is required to arrange this service.
- Delivery - Onsite support can be arranged virtually or Face to Face (F/F) if a COVID-Safe environment is available for the clinician and attendees. If you need to change your R U OK? Onsite from F/F to Zoom, please refer to our Cancellation Policy[i] to provide adequate notice.
R U OK? Check-in's
R U OK? Check-in’s proactively offer your people an opportunity to debrief and gain support to positively impact their wellbeing and improve their resilience and coping strategies. They are delivered by an experienced clinician over the phone and are 30 or 60 minutes in duration. The session gives your people the chance to speak with an objective professional, be listened to in a non-judgemental way and assist them in identifying any strategies for coping. A follow-up session can be organised by utilising individual's EAP sessions.
