Whom the funds will go to at the fundraising dinner?

The Mental Health Association currently run the Workplace Health Promotion Network (WHPN) without any funding and would like the opportunity to be able to provide more hands on assistance to our members and other workplaces. In their latest annual survey 69% of members who completed the survey indicated they would like a tool-kit on managing mental illness and promoting mental health in the workplace. The funds will be used to develop this toolkit, and roll it out to workplaces with on site training and on the job-coaching with different streams developed for HR, people managers and employees. It will involve recruiting and managing people with a mental illness and promoting good mental health and resilience for the whole organisation.
