The Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), Mental Health First Aid and many other mental wellbeing programmes are wonderful initiatives.
The support they provide to those not only in need is incalculable.
As with most things, prevention is the key to avoiding unnecessary harm.
At WARN International, we are committed to providing comprehensive education. Our approach goes beyond immediate care, by focusing on education that encourages people to maintain and improve their wellbeing in the long term.
Following a bout of depression and having had suicidal thoughts, I was personally drawn towards crisis intervention.
The founding of WARN International helped me to combine those skills into the realisation of positively supporting others.

Our advanced mental health programme focuses firstly on education for prevention by learning how the brain processes information.
Then, how to manage life’s challenges and working through worry.
Next, we examine the signs that you or someone else is struggling and how to guide them towards professional help.
Our techniques are non-confrontational, non-clinical and very effective. Helping people help themselves to give them control and certainty.
Our brain has changed in recent times and so must our responses to challenges. It starts with understanding our own emotions, in other words - emotional intelligence.
We proudly provide this training course to organisations across every business sector including Te Whatu Ora, WorkSafe, emergency responders and mental health first aid providers.
