The ACA is proud to present our next online wellbeing event in the AMWF Toolkit series on Support Systems & Staff Education. Join us on Thursday 22 June for an online lunchtime conversation featuring Thihoa Gill (Grimshaw), Simon Frost (Greenway Architects) and Rebecca Caldwell (Maytree Studios) in conversation on Wellbeing, Support Systems and Education.

The more that a practice can do to help educate, support and empower people the better. The key is to remove the stigma surrounding mental health and improve communication and support systems around wellbeing. Employee Assistance Programs, Mental Health First Aid courses, regular one-on-one check-ins, team-building, mindfulness training and mental health champions within practice are some of the strategies being used to improve wellbeing and maintain healthy workplaces.

For our upcoming webinar, we are delighted to present three terrific guest speakers from practices of different scales – Thihoa Gill from Grimshaw Architects, Rebecca Caldwell from Maytree Studios and Simon Frost from Greenway Architects – who will share their experiences and strategies on wellbeing, support systems and education in practice. AMWF VIC/TAS facilitator Kirby Roper from Kirby Architects will share the latest information on the ACA Trial EAP service and ACA CEO Angelina Pillai will facilitate the discussion.
