ARH PhD Scholar Speaks at the 2022 Frontline Mental Health Conference
'If you listen hard enough, they’ll tell you the answer’ - Transforming our approach to wellbeing.

PhD scholar of the University of New England, Tara Lal AFSM, was a keynote speaker at the 2022 Frontline Mental Health Conference recently.

Lift the Lid in the Workplace
Greg Wing from Simplot Australia is a great example of someone who has helped to Lift the Lid on Mental Illness in the community and his own workplace!

The Australian food manufacturer awarded Greg with a mental health award for starting 'Care Conversations' about health and wellbeing with other employees.

He has also been a great speaker at four Australian Rotary Health mental health community forums in Tasmania.
"The ARH forums were most beneficial and very instrumental in assisting myself to improve and enhance our health and wellbeing at Simplot. These forums provide a great avenue to not only raise the awareness of mental health in general but also assist to look more closely at businesses and workplaces and what they could do for the health and wellbeing of their employees," Greg said.
