The fourth of our online wellbeing events in the AMWF Toolkit series covers Support Systems & Staff Education. This webinar featuresfeatures Thihoa Gill (Grimshaw), Simon Frost (Greenway Architects) and Rebecca Caldwell (Maytree Studios) who share their experiences and strategies on Wellbeing, Support Systems and Education. Originally held 22 June 2023.
The more that a practice can do to help educate, support and empower people the better. The key is to remove the stigma surrounding mental health and improve communication and support systems around wellbeing. Employee Assistance Programs, Mental Health First Aid courses, regular one-on-one check-ins, team-building, mindfulness training and mental health champions within practice are some of the strategies being used to improve wellbeing and maintain healthy workplaces.
In this webinar, we are delighted to feature three terrific guest speakers from practices of different scales – Thihoa Gill from Grimshaw Architects, Rebecca Caldwell from Maytree Studios and Simon Frost from Greenway Architects – who share their experiences and strategies on wellbeing, support systems and education in practice. AMWF VIC/TAS facilitator Kirby Roper from Kirby Architects also shares information on the 2023 ACA Trial EAP service and ACA CEO Angelina Pillai facilitates the discussion.
