Protecting Mental Health: Psychosocial Hazards in Not-for-profits

About this event

Working and volunteering in the not-for-profit sector is rewarding, but it can also be challenging. Our employees and volunteers can experience stress from factors like high job demands, exposure to trauma, harassment and bullying. These psychosocial hazards can compromise their mental and physical health. 

In this webinar, we’ll unpack changes to work health and safety regulations in recent years and step you through your not-for-profit’s legal obligations to manage psychosocial hazards in your workplace. We’ll provide you with practical examples and tips that will leave you feeling more confident in what is expected of you when it comes to protecting the mental health and safety of your staff and volunteers.

Here's what participants thought:

  • “A very clear and helpful presentation on a topic that generally appears ambiguous and confusing.” 
  • “The webinar had a lot of great details and brought a lot of clarity and tangible action steps to a complex and otherwise fairly vague topic.” 
  • “Great explanation of complex concepts, and good use of case studies, polls etc to make material engaging” 
  • “Really valuable - clear, succinct and digestible.” 

We'll cover:

  • Your organisation’s basic safety obligations   
  • What psychosocial hazards are, and how to identify them 
  • Practical steps your organisation can take to protect your workers and meet your legal obligations   
  • Examples of recent regulatory action to address poorly managed psychosocial hazards  
  • Where you can get more help and information   

You'll receive:

  • 75 minutes of plain-language training from a lawyer
  • Copy of webinar recording (accessible for 3 months) and slide handout
  • Information on further resources and support

Who should attend:

Board or committee members and senior staff in your organisation.
