Stay Afloat - Mental Health Training Course
At any point in time, 1 in every 5 Australian’s are experiencing mental illness. Research has shown that the numbers may be even higher amongst our seafood community. One of the primary objectives of the Stay Afloat program is to provide training and education to as many people in our industry as we can. While we’d love to be doing most of this in a way that brings our community together face to face, we all know the realities of that are often out of reach due to COVID. Particularly given the current challenges in so many parts of Australia, we’ve decided to bring you as much support as we can online. We are offering a range of options that fall under two categories.
Stay Afloat Quick Wellbeing Bites
A series of 6 monthly webinar style presentations of 45 minutes (with 15 minutes optional question time). These presentations will be delivered via Zoom and attendees can present via video, or dial in anonymously. The first of these workshops is taking place on Monday the 23rd. We will be running each topic twice on the same day at 1.30pm and 6.00pm (AEST) to accommodate as many different work-life schedules as we can.
The first topic is Mental health and mental illness – in our communities and our industry.
Accredited Mental Health First Aid training
Stay Afloat has worked with Mental Health First Aid Australia to specifically tailor a number of the learning examples to suit common challenges in Seafood and enable our community to become educated in a way that is relevant to them. The course is delivered by people who understand the particular stressors that are often faced. This training involves either 2 days of face to face learning or a combination of self paced e-learning and Zoom or online workshops. Given the current COVID situation Stay Afloat is offering this blended online course over the coming months. We have scheduled four courses with an aim to accommodate those who can attend workshops during traditional office hours, as well as those for whom evening or weekend might be better. If you are keen to attend and none of the combinations below work for you, please get in touch.
Who can attend?
Any employee or business owner in the commercial seafood sector (including aquaculture), their family or friends over 18 years of age.
What’s the cost?
There is no cost for our industry. The course is funded by the Federal Government Dept of Health, Mental Health program through a grant provided to Seafood Industry Australia and Women in Seafood Australasia
What’s involved?
Once you register by clicking the link below that suits your timing, we’ll send you all of the information regarding next steps and we’ll guide you through the simple process of getting your e-learning started.
The e-learning component is self-paced and takes 5-7 hours. The online component comprises of 2 x 2.5 hour interactive workshops over Zoom. If you’d like to register, please choose the appropriate registration link below:
Once you complete both the e-learning at your own pace, and the group Zoom workshops, you will receive an email asking you to provide feedback and, if you choose, to complete a short exam to finalise your official accreditation.

- In this session we’ll talk about the continuum of healthy and thriving through situational stress, chronic stress and mental illness. We’ll help people understand the key issues faced in Australia and particularly in our seafood industry. Participants will leave with an improved understanding of key issues, language and supports available. We’ll explain the concept of Mental Health First Aid and give examples of how it can be used.
