SMILE Program: NICL Training
2021-09-06 17:30 - 19:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | QLD
The KCCI has engaged Bunyarra Counselling and Mediation after seeing a video on social media about their NICL program. Michael Sanford and Narelle Sanford from Bunyarra developed the NICL program after noticing the ever-growing need for early intervention around people’s mental health and it was a great fit for the what the KCCI is trying to achieve. The program had already been implemented into some large corporations with great success.
The S.M.I.L.E initiative is aimed at businesses to create awareness around mental wellbeing in the workplace as well as ensuring business owners/managers are supported too.
If a business in the region is the member of the KCCI, we will fund 2 people from that business to do the NICL training. We hope future funding applications will allow us to roll this training out to more staff and more businesses across the region. Alternatively, businesses can engage Bunyarra
Counselling and Mediation themselves to deliver the NICL training.
KCCI would like to see all businesses no matter how large or small to engage with any of the service providers we have in our region to discuss their options around mental wellbeing in the workplace. We will have a list of providers on our website in the coming weeks.
When:
Monday 6 September
Monday 20 September
Time:
5:30pm – 7:30pm
