Mental health first aid training at Sydney Steel Mill

Last week, Sydney Steel Mill hosted Mental Health First Aid training over the course of two days with Geoff Bowser for our recycling and corporate teams.

The training focused on skills to support mental health and wellbeing at work as well as at home and in the community.

The Standard Mental Health First Aid course teaches participants how to provide initial support to another adult who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis, until professional help is received, or the crisis resolves.

Well done to everyone who took part!
