We are beyond thrilled to be partnering with Neon Shed for Psychosocial Safety Summit. See below for details.

Join us for our 3rd annual Summit which will be held in The Marquee at the beautiful Victoria Park in Brisbane, and will focus on Psychosocial Safety.

This is NOT a bunch of speakers talking about the hazards in the code of practice and how to manage them… These experts and leaders in their fields are diving into real issues and challenges workplaces are experiencing, to make your life easier.

We’ll cover:
- Psychological impacts of physical injuries with Cameron Carr
- Alcohol with Sarah Connelly
- Domestic Violence with Stefanie Costi
- Repairing the harm and stopping the cycle with Kerrie Sellen
- Serious psychosocial injury recovery with Caroline Howe
- Burnout with Helen Lawson Williams
- Trauma informed intersectional psychosocial risk management with Kanae. A. Dyas
- Gender and generational differences with Nicole Turnbull
- Cultural transformation with Fiona Hogarth
- Having courageous conversations with Blyde Neser
- The importance of Women in Safety with Alanna Ball
- Workplace healing and trauma with Sean Lappin
- Ending the argument on where psychosocial safety sits in an organisation with Dr Donna Stemmer and Dr Elizabeth C..

And the final speakers will be announced soon…

These topics are hard to manage, yet these incredible people are doing it and changing the world for workplaces and communities. We are honoured to be partnering with them in this event.

Group discounts are available. Grab your ticket today and we can’t wait to meet you! https://lnkd.in/evVRCPax
