MATES Apprentice Resilience program was developed based on recommendations from the 2020 Australian Institute for Suicide and Prevention and Griffith University report that identified that apprentices and young workers in the construction industry are overrepresented in the incidence and impact of bullying and mental health, and are at higher risk of suicide.
The program covers skill development in:
- Resilience and Self-care,
- Workplace Bullying,
- Workplace Rights,
- Financial Management,
- Alcohol and Other Drugs, and;
- Suicide and Mental Health.
