We are going Virtual!

Overview

Due to the on-going situation with covid-19, we are excited to announce that the Mental Health & Leadership summit will now be going virtual.

On Thursday 15th & Friday 16th October, Fortem Australia will host the Emergency Services Mental Health & Leadership Summit live and online!

The summit will be an opportunity for commissioners, senior staff and health & wellbeing teams to come together and hear about current mental health initiatives in each first responder organisation including perspectives from international organisations. The focus this year will be on first responder mental health and will allow an opportunity for attending first responder organisations to share best practice and impact measurements in a way that has not been possible before.

This summit will help facilitate collaboration and will begin the conversation around a national framework for mental health and wellbeing where internal organizational led initiatives are complemented by external supports.
