Description

While general mental health programs are helpful, mental health programs that support working parents to manage their specific challenges are more effective than general programs that do not address the underlying stresses and issues. To support working parents and their families to thrive, parenting, work and family wellbeing expert Dr Rosina McAlpine from Win Win Parenting has designed this six-part Mental Health Series for Working Parents, specifically tailored to support employee and family mental wellbeing.

Offering this program demonstrates an organisation’s proactive approach to supporting psychosocial safety and mitigating psychosocial risks affecting working parents.

More than a one-off session, our 6-month program provides employees with practical solutions and ongoing support to enable them to embed sustainable mental health practices into family life. Each month, employees develop their knowledge and skills with:

• A live 60-minute webinar.

• On-demand access to our Family Wellbeing Resource Centre containing webinar recordings, podcasts (audio versions of the live webinars), and summary handouts.

Structure

In each interactive session, employees with caring responsibilities develop their knowledge and skills in a safe and flexible learning environment with:

  • A live 1-hour interactive webinar with step-by-step strategies.
  • Opportunity to ask questions with a work and family wellbeing expert.
  • Engaging with interactive elements including polls and reflective activities.

After the webinar participants and their family have access to:

  • Webinar recordings for the duration of the series.
  • Podcasts (audio version of the live webinars).
  • Downloadable Tip Sheet with links to further resources.

How the program works for People Leaders – easy to manage program

Upon booking the session or program, the management team receive the:

  • Invitation to invite employees to register for the session/program.
  • Communications for each of the sessions in the series to share on internal communication channels.
  • Monthly data on program engagement, including number of employees registered for the session/program, live attendance and number accessing the replays and resources and written feedback.
  • Final report at the conclusion of the program if 6- or 12-month program offered.

How the program works – Simple as 1..2..3

  1. Select Program: Select one or more sessions from the webinar schedule: Your organisation will receive the program communications with link(s) to register, and an outline of each session to share with employees.
  2. Reminders: Once registered, employees receive a reminder 1 week, 1 day and 1 hour before each webinar with the link to join the webinar. Participants can join live and ask questions or access the replay.
  3. Replays: After the live webinar all registrants receive a link to access the webinar replay. The replay will be available for 4 weeks or for the duration of the program selected.

During these interactive sessions employees receive simple and sustainable practical strategies.

Webinars are delivered via the GoTo Webinar platform* which allows maximum engagement with polls, questions and comments – all in a safe and confidential online environment.  *MS Teams and other session platforms are available upon request.

The program is designed to provide practical support for parents and carers raising children 18 months to 18+ years.
