Mental Health for Managers

Last week, members of our QLD Leadership Team came together at the Brisbane Training Facility for a dedicated Mental Health for Managers session, delivered by the brilliant Leigh Fraser-Gray from Mental Health Services & Training.

This interactive and thought-provoking workshop provided our leaders with practical tools and evidence-based strategies to confidently navigate mental health conversations in the workplace, as well as a deeper understanding of psychosocial risks and responses.

Key topics covered included:

💡 The Traffic Lights model of coping capacity

💡 The neuroscience behind mental health and emotional regulation

💡 Historical and cultural influences on mental health at work

💡 Industry best-practice approaches to psychosocial risk

💡 Application of theory to real-world team dynamics at Freyssinet

💡 Group discussion, experience sharing and yes, even a few laughs!

At Freyssinet, we’re committed to building psychologically safe workplaces where wellbeing is taken seriously. It was a valuable opportunity to step away from BAU and reflect as a team on how we can continue supporting our people both on and off site.

Thanks again to Leigh Fraser-Gray AMHSW MH (Mental Health) Services and Training for leading a meaningful session and to all participants for showing up with openness and curiosity.
