An Important Distinction

Psychosocial Safety Training vs Mental Health Training

They aren't the same thing.

Mental Health Training

Generally focuses on recognising and responding to mental health concerns in individuals — awareness, first aid and support pathways.

Psychosocial Safety Training

Focuses on identifying and managing the workplace factors — how work is designed, organised and managed — that may create risks to psychological health.
