A simple question – are you okay? It can make a life of difference at the right moment, but it also opens the door to comfortable conversations about mental health.
Like some physical conditions, many mental health issues aren’t always obvious – if you aren’t trained to see the signs, you may not even know the person sitting across from you is in desperate need of help. Sometimes the best thing to do is to just check in with people from time to time, and establish that you’re someone who they can turn to if things become overwhelming.
So many of the preventable mental health issues people face are experienced alone, unable to turn to anyone for help, and often resulting in far worse outcomes.
We help your team understand the power in a question, and show them how to contribute to an environment of open support, empathy, psychological safety & mental wellbeing.
The basis of our work is informed by generations of lived experience, and so we bring much of ourselves to each course, and use our experiences as counsellors, coaches, leaders, and people to help you connect and learn.
Life is messy - whether it’s time, location, learning type, or anything else - we meet you where you want to be. We prioritise accessibility, catering for in-person, remote, or unique content - we’ll make sure you get the training that’s right for you.
Mental health can be a tough topic for many people. With deep respect for both the subject material and you, we make it easier to approach with a comfortable, safe atmosphere - and we even share a laugh from time to time.
In whichever way you measure your impact - we take the same perspective. From healthier workplaces, to critical skills and confident, open conversations, we’ll aim for your goals and measure the outcomes together.
When we begin a relationship with you, we take the time to understand your goals and help you find the best path to reach them. From mapping out your steps to success to ongoing support for your team, we help you maximise your impact and chart the path to a resilient future.
Mental health awareness is critical for everyone - we design our services to be equally accessible regardless of your experience in life. We offer sensory aids, fidget tools, and customised courses to give you the best experience. Don’t hesitate to tell us what you need.
R U OK Day has a national profile that is recognisable and relatable, considered by most to be a very non-confrontational style of mental health awareness. If you are looking to run a session during or near R U OK Day, or a similar session at any other time through the year – we can help.
We regularly deliver tailor-made workshops and lunch & learns to help your team practice mental health check-ins, update their skills, provide foundational mental health information, and embed the R U OK Day model into the workplace culture.
R U OK Day Seminars are one of many lunch and learn style sessions that we can run, though we are always happy to completely customise the content and approach to suit your needs. See a range of lunch & learn options we have, here.
It’s not just a question we ask on one day of the year, it’s an approach to peer support, workplace collaboration, and team leadership. We give your team the skills and confidence to contribute to that proactive culture, and ask R U OK on any day of the year.
When you build a culture of peer support you promote greater mental health in the workplace. Create and maintain that culture with accessible, engaging R U OK seminars and other programs.
Promote a greater uptake of the vital skills and knowledge that contribute to a safer work environment. We’re experts at presenting sensitive topics in engaging and safe ways.
In Australia, and also the wider world, mental health outcomes continually fail to meet the standards of a healthy, functioning society. It’s an issue that deserves our attention – to overcome stigmas and create an environment where people are supported through tough times. We believe it can be achieved with a dedicated response from everyday people.
The Mental Health Coach is our way to improve the support available to vulnerable people all throughout society in a tangible, lasting way. With knowledge from evidence-based training and the confidence to share experiences with peers, we work with you to make a difference.
Nick started The Mental Health Coach with this in mind. From his background as coach, counsellor, facilitator and leader of multidisciplinary teams, he came to understand the wide variety of ways different people engage with learning.

We help people build safer, stronger, more supportive places to work, live and grow. By sharing the knowledge and skills that help make an impact when it matters most, we can all work together to move the needle in the right direction.
