Supporting Worker Mental Health

Before Blue - Worker Mental Health Coaching

A free, confidential program to strengthen your mental wellbeing.

 Victorian small business employees can now access free, confidential mental health coaching through the Before Blue program. Supported by WorkSafe Victoria’s Return to Work Innovations program, this initiative is delivered independently by Beyond Blue to help workers manage life and work stress before it escalates. Small business owners can share this resource with their staff to help them build resilience and practical coping skills.

 The multi-week program connects participants with a dedicated coach for up to eight sessions via phone or video call, with flexible appointments available Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm (AEST). No GP referral is required, and participation is completely confidential, meaning no information is shared with employers.

 What this program offers

Support that works around real life.

This program helps you learn how to manage everyday stress, anxiety and feelings that can lead to overwhelm or low mood, before things reach crisis point.

You don’t need a diagnosis or to be at breaking point to access support. If something is affecting your wellbeing, it’s worth talking it through.

·         Feeling overwhelmed, stressed or burning out
