A fabulous webinar hosted by Nic d’Emden from Findex. A little nit about Nic, he is passionate about financial literacy. Managing money is something we all deal with on a daily basis, and yet very few of us ever get an education around how to do it well. As a result, an estimated 46% of 19-35 year olds are significantly financially stressed in Australia. This causes a deep impact on individual wellbeing, therefore as part of the Mission Wellbeing program it is an important aspect for discussion.

Our very first webinar in the Mission Wellbeing series, Elise Whitmore - Principal Solicitor with the Women’s Legal Service.

This webinar talks about healthy vs unhealthy relationships, what is family violence and identifying the red flags.

Jonathon Bedloe, a Mental Health First Aid and Suicide Prevention trainer and consultant, vice president of Men’s Resources Tasmanian and formerly Men’s Health Policy Officer with the Tasmanian Health Department presented an informative webinar on the topic of Men’s Health and some tips on how to create those meaningful connections.

WARNING: This webinar is not suitable for Client Services. Alcohol is mentioned & may be a trigger for those struggling with addiction.

This webinar, presented by Frontline Mind (www.frontlinemind.com) will cover the broad, much talked about term of “resilience”. We will discuss what resilience actually is as well as what it is not. Participants will be shown some fundamental practical processes they can implement into their every day lives. There will be a practical component of the webinar so please bring a pen and piece of paper as your host, Dorian, steps you through mapping out some of your own personal points of resilience.
