PTSD Awareness Day 2023

We have a range of recovery after trauma guides which can be downloaded from our website.

These guides were developed with Phoenix Australia and seek to provide information for workers at a time when they need it most. We have guides available specifically for paramedics, firefighters, police and health professionals.

We have a specific area of our website dedicated to helping to protect emergency service workers from the impacts of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and psychological injuries.

Our range of videos, guides, and articles have been developed through collaborations with organisations such as NSW Fire and Rescue, the Black Dog Institute and Phoenix Australia.

EML partnered with nine of Australia’s leading PTSD experts to deliver Expert Guidelines: Diagnosis and Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Emergency Service Workers, a set of evidence-based guidelines on how PTSD should be diagnosed and treated amongst first responders.

We’ve recently updated our helpful support guides which provide contact details for a range of services (both online and in local communities) to support workers and their families. 

Moving your body through exercise has shown to positively impact emotions. You can read more on this topic and watch six helpful videos here.

Psychosocial wellbeing in the workplace remains a key focus for employers in 2023. Our new course, Managing Psychosocial Risks, is now available for employers to learn more about best practise in this area.

Occupational violence and aggression (OVA) is one of the leading causes of trauma in the workplace.

In addition to our free online OVA resources we also provide OVA training through EMlearning for our customers. 

Employers can also access a variety of mental health related topics such as Managing Mental Health Risks at Work, Managing Psychological Conditions in the Workplace and Bullying & Harassment.

In the wake of the industry wide impact made by Covid-19 restrictions, EML partnered with the AHA SA to support hospitality workers and employers develop wellbeing skills. Listen to the engaging podcast series or download the information sheets today.
