We teach the psychological skills that enhance mental health and wellbeing.
Out of the therapy room and into the workplace
It is unfortunate that in today’s world that unless we get referred to a health professional for psychological therapy it is unlikely we will get to learn the psychological skills that cause mental health. Healthy Minds is changing this. We take the sophisticated psychological skills that cause people to become mentally healthy out of the therapy room and into workplaces and schools through our tailored personal development programs and seminars.
Much more than just feel-good platitudes and positivity
We strongly believe that true mental health requires more than just feel-good platitudes, positive thinking, or short-term solutions. We don’t catastrophise the normal experience of occasionally experiencing so-called ‘negative’ emotions, nor do we peddle the falsehood that everybody should feel positive mood states 24/7. Rather, we deconstruct personal wellbeing as the foundation of mental health, quality of life, and being able to perform at your best, which is the true foundation of a sustainably ‘happy’ life.
Six key wellbeing factors
We teach an integrated, bio-psycho-social model of wellbeing – The Healthy Minds Wellbeing Wheel – that allows you to integrate six key wellbeing factors. By utilising the technology of gamification and personal informatics we support participants to translate their new knowledge from our seminars into the specific behaviours that cause mental health, wellbeing, and peak performance.
Move from one end of the scale to the other
Mental ill-health brings more than just a personal impact in terms of quality of life, it also significantly impairs functioning. On the other hand, learning the skills to self-manage your personal wellbeing will enable you to thrive. Where on one end of the scale sits psychological symptoms, absenteeism, poor concentration and work or school performance, at the other end lies peak performance, resilience and self-actualisation.
