CBA are kindly extending an invite to CMHAA Member employees to attend their RU OK? Day webinar ‘Breaking the Stress Circuit’ with guest speaker Lachie Samuel.
Lachie’s journey has been one of high highs and low lows.. until he finally hit a breaking point. In this session Lachie will share his journey, and his lessons about stress, how it becomes a circuit we get stuck in… and how to not just break the circuit, but break free.
About Lachie
In 2017, after nearly 10 years working FIFO shutdowns and construction, having already experienced his partners attempt to take her life due to the stress of his working away, Lachie Samuel lost two colleagues to suicide. He was also later evacuated from site for mental health issues. Since then he has gone on to become one of the leaders in FIFO mental health, creating a top 10 mental health podcast, the FIFO Mental Health Summit and The Association for Mental Health in Mining. In 2021 he won the ‘national mens health champion’ award, for his work in FIFO mental health, from the Australian Mens Health Forum, Australia’s peak body for mens health. In 2022 Lachie was named a Linkedin Top Voice for Mental Health and with that, made the decision to transition from consulting as the FIFO Mental Health Guy, to creating FIFO Mental Health Group, as the first step towards finding and building a team of people who are genuinely passionate about transforming mental health culture within mining.
We understand that some topics discussed in this presentation may be sensitive for some people and we will discuss topics related to suicide, which may be distressing for some individuals. Please take care and seek support if needed.
Thank you to CMHAA Member CBA for inviting CMHAA Members to this webinar.
