Support - Work, Life, Mates

Support for Workers!
https://mates.org.au/
MATES is a charity established in 2008 to reduce the high level of suicide among Australian construction workers. (See FIFO components too)

MATES provides suicide prevention through community development programs on sites, and by supporting workers in need through case management and a 24/7 help line. We serve the construction industry in Queensland and Northern Territory, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia, the Energy industry in Queensland and New South Wales, and nationally to the Mining industry.

MATES was established in response to a major report on suicide (the ‘AISRAP Report’) within the Queensland Commercial Building and Construction Industry. This report found that suicide rates in the industry were higher than the Australian average for men, and that youth suicide within the industry could be as much as 2.38 times more common than among other young Australian men.

The MATES program is based on the simple idea that suicide is everyone’s business. If the building and construction industry in Australia is to improve the mental health and well-being of workers and reduce suicide, then it cannot be left to mental health professionals:
everyone in the industry must play their part.

​

Working for the construction industry in general, MATES is independent of employers and unions and never works directly for an employer. Programs are delivered across the industry regardless of employer or union affiliation.

​

* Mates - Training & Support      https://mates.org.au/training-support
Model of training - Mates Program:
Has three levels of training and how this leads to support. Starting with General Awareness Training, a worker becomes 'inducted'. Following GAT, volunteers can become Connectors, and some of those continue to become ASIST-trained workers. Surrounding these training levels is the MATES 24/7 support network via Field Officers and Case Manager site and phone support.

Mental Health Apps - FYI
There are many Apps available that can be used on many smart devices as helpful tools.

Mental Health Apps can differ in their use and application however they are all developed as tools which can be accessed via our smart devices. Whilst these Apps tend to focus on different topics most are designed to help in reducing stress, anxiety and improving sleep.

My Vision - (myvision.org)

The Link Between Mental Health and Your Vision

Medical researchers have found close links between eye health and mental health. People with vision impairments often develop mental health problems like anxiety and depression because of the stress of living with their condition. People with mental health problems are also more likely to develop vision issues later in life.  If you have vision problems, it is important to take care of your mental health as well. Seeking help from your doctor, a counsellor or an advocacy organization can help you manage the impact of your condition and protect your mental well-being.
