About The Course
St John is proud to be the delivery partner for the R U OK? at Work – Conversations in Practice workshop.
This two-hour, face-to-face workshop is designed to strengthen workplace peer support by helping participants recognise when a colleague may be struggling and develop greater confidence in having an R U OK? Conversation.
Built around realistic workplace scenarios and interactive activities, participants practise using the 4 Steps of an R U OK? Conversation: Ask R U OK?, Listen, Encourage Action and Check In.
The workshop is designed for a team or workplace looking to build a culture where people feel connected, supported and empowered to have R U OK? Conversations.
Please note: This session does not qualify participants to provide formal counselling services. The training course teaches skills for informal peer support — not clinical care. All scenarios used are realistic but entirely fictional.
