The Clear Mind Program
The Program will comprise three individual sessions, participants will have the opportunity to engage in a fourth session prior to, or shortly after the commencement of employment. Each individual session will encompass the following components:
- Engagement and Consent + Initial Assessment. At Empowered Minds we prioritise the ongoing asset of Informed Consent and Consent to Share Information. This essential procedure guarantees that participants possess a comprehensive understanding of the proposed health interventions, empowering them to autonomously make informed decisions regarding their care. It encompasses clearly portraying the considerations of confidentiality and the precise circumstances under which client information might be disclosed, thereby cultivating an atmosphere of openness and reliability.

This session will emphasise the application of practical techniques such as enhancing resilience skills and setting achievable goals. Participants will collaborate with practitioners who will offer personalised support and guidance tailored to their individual circumstances.

This recap will be shared to appropriate members of the Workforce Australia team, subject to participant consent, and will outline the participant’s advancements in crucial domains, including:
