Assessment and adjustment in three areas of emotions, behaviours, and thoughts.

Who the course is built and taught by:
This course gives a culturally competent perspective that is often missing when people try to enter into mental health approaches with the trades. You have the only course built by a tradesman specifically for tradespeople.

Why this course exists:
This part has been hammered to the ground over the last five years. It has become common knowledge that people in the trades struggle with mental health. This course addresses the increased safety risk, on and off the job site, that comes with not maintaining mental health.

🔹 Key Learning Modules:

• Emotions: Assessment and adjustment of emotional responses.
• Behaviours: Monitoring and changing patterns of behaviour that impact health and safety.
• Thoughts: Identifying and managing negative thought patterns and spiralling.

✅ Upon Completion:

Benefits for both workers and employers:

• ✅ It’s hard to stay safety orientated when your mind is stuck elsewhere.
• ✅ Tools to manage your thoughts from unnecessary spiralling.
• ✅ Tools to manage your behaviour from putting you into an early grave.
• ✅ Tools to manage your emotions so you can recognize, feel, and talk about them without outbursts that affect your relationships and work.

These are the tools that are needed to maintain mental wellness. Because an unpredictable or unfortunate life event can put you into a crisis situation—one that is all too common amongst tradespeople.

These tools will not only make you prepared to deal with it, but also help you recognize it so you can get out of it.
