Could you be a Mental Health Champion?

Due to popular demand, we are re-opening the application process to complete the Mental Health First Aid Course and become part of the growing community of Mental Health Champions. You can apply via this link: Mental Health Champions Application. 

To ensure the support of our Mental Health Champions is available and accessible to all KAFER colleagues, we need to have a wide network of champions in all areas of the business. Therefore employees working in all areas and at all levels are encouraged to consider applying. 

The primary role of a MH champion is to provide support and signpost someone experiencing poor mental health. MH Champions also play a vital role in reducing stigma and promoting positive mental health in the workplace. 

Champions are given comprehensive training, carried out by HCML our occupational health provider. Training is exclusively for KAEFER employees. 

Once trained you will become part of the fully supported Mental Health Champions network, facilitated by HCML, and will have access to regular meetings, support, updates and sharing of resources. 

Below are some of the fantastic comments from colleagues who attended the most recent training:

After the two days I feel more comfortable in giving support to others! I would recommend the course to others.

Great course and well presented, instructors were excellent!

I found the course very informative and empowering. I look forward to being able to apply my new found skills to help someone in need.
