Men supporting women in the sector to progress their careers

[Siusan MacKenzie @SiusanMackenzie]

Fantastic conversation today at @ESF_Victoria IWD event on how do women lead differently and is this helpful for the sector?

#EmbraceEquity

[Siusan MacKenzie @SiusanMackenzie]

Being authentic, tenacious, confident, a strong communicator, focused were adjectives the panel used but not only for women. These are the attributes all good leaders need to demonstrate.

We are SO grateful to have Anthony as an ESF/ #TonysTrek ambassador - which is raising funds to enable us to train ambassadors to safely share their stories of MH and recovery. Reducing stigma is essential as it inhibits early help-seeking when the chance of recovery is greatest.

Today is a day to pause and remember the police who have lost their lives in serving our community. Memorial services can trigger a range of emotions. Never underestimate the value of speaking with a trusted friend or professional about how you are feeling.

[Siusan MacKenzie @SiusanMackenzie]

Some fantastic sector specific resources. Remember, you don’t need to wait for R U Ok Day to start a conversation💡

Check in on others, and more importantly; on yourself often, allow time for self care and seek help when you feel you may need it.

If COVID has taught us anything, it could be that #WF2022 can still create team #culture.
