What a great initiative from the Tourism Port Douglas Shire and well worth the half day personal investment.

A recent investigation into a local business revealed cognitive distortion was an underlying issue in the workplace. I thought to share an article I wrote on the topic.

Most of us are comfortable with the idea that we all experience a shared reality. So if I say that everyone sees the world in the same way compared to everyone else then surely that would be a rational way to approach life, wouldn’t it? But you might be wrong about that.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? -
We all have mental health, some days it is in better shape than others. BUT - would you know how to help someone who was having poor mental health or distress?
I love leading this course, have plenty of experience in teaching this important content and can give you the skills and confidence to assist others.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL NEED TO HELP.
