Free mental health and stress pocket guides


These handy mental health and stress pocket guides provide practical tips on how to have a conversation about mental health and identify the signs of stress.

Mental health pocket guide

CHASNZ, with assistance from Dr. Kate Bryson and the Mental Health Foundation, has made available a simple pocket guide on how to have real conversations with a team member before, during and after about mental health.

The intent is to normalise these conversations and create better workplace supportive bonds, ensuring worksites are safer places to be for physical and mental health.

You do not have to have the necessary skills to start conversations about mental health and wellbeing. Simply make talking about wellbeing an everyday thing.

To make it easier, we are offering a free downloadable mental health pocket guide.
