What is Check-in Week about?
The Association for Mental Health in Mining have teamed up with ONE MILLION LIVES to bring you The Resources Industry Mental Health Check-In Week.
The Mental Health Check-in, launches October 11-15 during Mental Health Week. It is aimed at encouraging & empowering organisations and their employees to check-in on their mental health using the OML Mental Health Check-in tool.
Why? Because over 120 000 of us in the sector will have a mental health challenge that makes life harder than it needs to be, yet most of us won't know why. For something that is so foreseeable, we think it is about time we starting checking in with our mental health, the same way we do with our physical health.
Our aim is to have 5,000 people across the resources industry take 5-7 minutes during pre-start and onsite team meetings to complete the OML Mental Health Check-in.
Checking in together as an organisation, will create safety for those of us struggling, to check in and understand why we feel the way we do. This could be the first step to changing or saving a life.
What is the OML check in tool?
The One Million Lives initiative is a shared vision by Jacobs and Australian Psychologist Peta Slocombe. It allows users to complete a 5-7min Full Check in, from which they'll receive a private score & report detailing the current state of their mental health. It is for people who are well, people who might be struggling, and everyone in between.
Users are not asked for their name, email, company or site, ensuring results are completely private.
