SHM has been developed specifically for the transport industry through collaboration with both industry stakeholders and the workers on the ground. The training course has been amended to include transport specific scenarios which make the program more relatable, and applicable to real life scenarios. Our program is also more cost effective than other offerings on the market. In Western Australia, the program operates at no cost to employers who want to put their workers through the training, and two free sessions per year are available in other states around the country.
Although many organisations provide mental health training, these programs are often less comprehensive than that which is offered by Steering Healthy Minds. For instance, some may only address one or two modules included in the standard Mental Health First Aid course. While we support all forms of mental health training, the most thorough and industry-specific option available for the transport sector is the program provided by Steering Healthy Minds.
