MIND FITNESS PROGRAM(MFP)

  Mental Health in the Workplace –The Facts:

      1 in 5 Australian 

employees report that they’ve taken time off work  due  to  feeling mentally unwell in the      past 12 months.

     According to an

    ABS study, 45% of Australian's will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime.

Untreated mental health conditions  cost Australian workplaces approx. $10.9 billion per year.

 
Workplaces need to have measures in place to circumvent the mental health epidemic. Studies have found successful results have been achieved through training processes incorporating mindfulness based techniques* but can only come about after prolonged practice and new habit formation.
 
Evidence suggests that such change occurs only after extended practice allowing for new behavioural, emotional, cognitive and neurological pathways to become rooted.
 
With this in mind, TOMI’s Mind Fitness Program (MFP) consists of 5-10 interactive mental enhancement training workshops (one hour each) designed to improve organisational culture through empowering individuals to optimise their mental ability, wellbeing and performance in the workplace. These workshops cover:-

PROCESS

The MFP achieves a positive shift in organisational culture through educating staff about how to best utilise the overlapping psychological processes above. This takes place in an interactive learning based setting.

 

This process involves an initial consultation with management to set schedules, identify team nuances, the contemporary organisational culture/ climate and any pain points to further contextualise the program.

 

The one hour workshops are delivered by The Open Mind Institute's founders (on or off-site) in an interactive & dynamic learning environment that incorporates diverse & stimulating learning based techniques and exercises.
