About the training
People with mental health concerns have a shorter life expectancy by approximately 10 years, in comparison to the general population. This is mostly due to chronic disease, high rates of substance abuse (smoking, drugs, and alcohol), poor nutrition and sleeping patterns, and physical inactivity.
Do you work in mental health or work with people experiencing mental health concerns and have you ever wanted to understand more about the way mental and physical health interact, and their impacts on each other?
This bespoke training will teach you the relationship between mental and physical health, strategies to improve the physical health of people you work with and effective ways to communicate the impact of lifestyle on mental health.
Who is this training for?
This FREE training is for any staff that work with consumers that experience mental health concerns (mental health staff, drug and alcohol roles, primary health, psychosocial workforce, NDIS).

Participant feedback
“Thank you for this training – it certainly compliments my current understanding of physical health in mental health, and had a lot of different perspectives that I don’t usually include in my education to staff, like bias and other barriers, which I will use from now on.”
This training has been made possible by funding from Western NSW Primary Health Network.
