Free mental wellbeing

Small business owners looking to support the mental health and wellbeing of their staff are being given access to a vital resource.
Minister for Small Business Jaala Pulford has announced free access to Mindarma – an evidence-based online mental health support tool – is being made available to Victorian small businesses and their employees to help with daily challenges and the uncertainty due to the pandemic.
“We know small businesses continue to face significant challenges due to the pandemic and that may cause concern and uncertainty for their employees,” she said.
“The Mindarma app provides skills and tools that are known to protect mental health and in a simple and convenient way to support staff in these challenging times.”
Ms Pulford said small businesses want to look after their staff and “we’re backing them by investing in innovative ways to provide mental health and wellbeing supporting.”
Supported by the Black Dog Institute and the University of NSW, Mindarma is an education program developed by leading researchers. Through 10 short interactive sessions accessible on computer, tablet, or smartphone, users learn mindfulness and cognitive techniques for resilience and to manage workplace stressors.
Victorian small businesses can register for free access to Mindarma until 30 June 2022. For information on this and other wellbeing resources, visit business.vic.gov.au.
