Our Why

​

Filling the gap - Following our Founder and CEO, Emma Parsons' exposure to Mental Ill Health in 2013, she has been a mental health advocate. Recognising that not only had she fallen victim to the 'Mental Health Stigma' and not asked for help, but also realising that there were a variety of missing information and links between how organisations can support their team effectively and their liabilities.

​

Companies (especially male-orientated workplaces) are increasingly struggling to improve and develop their teams' mental well-being proactively. Resulting in increased unacceptable behaviours, psychological and physical injuries, and injury claims. Most companies now have EAP and Mental First Aiders; however, these are all reactive measures, as the problems had already presented themselves.

 

Understanding the male-oriented industries and the daily struggles that companies face with the stigma, identifying, monitoring and proactively managing Mental Health, something had to change - people's lives are at risk! This changed the trajectory of Proactive Action.

 

A mission was underway to develop a more proactive system aligned with legislation and best practices. Giving organisations a tool to identify and monitor risks while identifying trends. Breaking down the stigma and understanding their team's behaviour following certain events, such as new project starting, bullying events, change etc.

​

This is how the MindSafe system was born. We believe - that if companies have the right tools and guidance to work proactively and with the proper support, this will reduce workplace stress, harmful behaviours, injuries and incidents - allowing people to thrive and go home safely to their families.
