The Self Empowerment Community Initiatives
We are currently focused on utilising the powerful and innovative SEJ Process as a primary tool to empower individuals. Our objective is to leverage this methodology to develop and launch a series of truly meaningful initiatives. By applying this process, we aim to ensure that our programs provide substantial value and create a lasting positive impact on those we serve.
We look forward to sharing more details as these initiatives progress, so ensure to sign up to our newsletter for regular updates.
Business & Education Working Together Initiative
We would love to hear from any businesses with regard to our 'Business & Education Working Together' initiative, which empowers local businesses to cultivate a mentally healthy workforce for the future.
By sponsoring a local educational institution, your organisation would enable them to receive our 'Stay Mentally Healthy' services. This investment allows businesses to fulfill their corporate social responsibility while equipping young individuals with the skills needed to maintain mental wellbeing before entering the workforce.
In recognition of your support, participating businesses will receive:
-
A certificate to be displayed at both the educational institution and your own organisation.
-
Access to discounted and tailored services and training for your own business.
Education - Self Empowerment Initiative
'Creating a paradigm shift moving from reactive intervention to proactive, inclusive, self-help prevention.'
We have extensive research and experience in supporting educational settings in creating and establishing a paradigm shift in how they support their community: students, staff, educators, and families with their mental wellbeing through the SEJ Process training and services. Working holistically, inclusively and collaboratively with a move from reactive intervention to proactive self-help prevention enabling the whole community to stay mentally healthy and reach their full potential.
We have research data to validate the SEJ Process's impact in education. You can see more information on our research page.
If you are interested in the various services we can offer your educational setting, including integrating the SEJ Process into the curriculum, or opening your own onsite Self Empowerment or Stay Mentally Healthy Hub, geared towards guided self-help and a whole setting approach to mental wellbeing, please contact us.
Stay Mentally Healthy Hubs
We actively encourage local businesses and educational institutions to work collaboratively with the community Hub by either establishing Stay Mentally Healthy (SMH) Hubs within their setting, or use their local Hub to provide mental health support and services.
The SMH Hubs 'bridge the gap', providing a vital link between the current mental health provision and the needs of their community. They enable individuals to learn the skills to maintain positive health, find purpose and direction, and reach their full potential.
Businesses and organisations through the Hubs can fulfil their duty of care, addressing the gaps in the current provision, ensuring they take all reasonable steps to support the health, safety, and wellbeing of their employees, students, and families.
The 'Pay It Forward' Initiative
The pay-it-forward initiative encourages qualified SEJ Consultants and Trainers to help others through their own lived experience and professional service. The recipient, who used the SEJ services to change their own life, is encouraged to extend the kindness to someone else, creating a positive chain of generosity and kindness that spreads throughout the community.
All qualified SEJ Consultants and Trainers are actively encouraged to give some of their time for free, volunteering at the SMH Hubs. An SEJ Consultant or Trainer can give as many hours as they are able to, and work either online or in-person at a Stay Mentally Healthy (SMH) Hub or even open their own Hub (See our Retrain, Restart, Reinvent Initiative below).
There are many ways to pay it forward, including volunteering, take a look at our volunteering opportunities for our Stay Mentally Healthy initiative.
