You lent a hand, now lend an ear

14 September 2011

Mental Health Week have released the following press release in the lead up to Mental Health Week- October 9-15.

Through compassion and understanding, people turned out in droves across the state to lend a hand.

What you might not expect is a detailed discussion about mental health issues and their effect on workplaces. However, that was exactly what was discussed at the SuperFriend / AIST Employer Luncheon on March 8th.
