The Accoras team is proud to work with many local communities and businesses with education services.
Mental Health and Well-being Workshops
We deliver tailored workshops to different workplaces, community groups, sporting clubs and cultural groups to educate people around mental health and well-being and provoke conversation. Delivered by a practising mental health practitioner this is great solution for providing health and well-being support and information to your community or workplace.
Accoras has developed a collaborative partnership with the Gorillas, which sees us participating in their charity events (including the 'Brook Run' fun run) and delivering mental health-focused education and information to their players, coaches, parents and club staff, as supported by funding provided by the Brisbane City Council.
Accoras Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan

Triple P
The Triple P: Positive Parenting Program is an Australian course backed by more than 30 years of research and success. In an Accoras Triple P course, parents learn about strategies for their situation, talk and share stories with other parents and refer to the comprehensive Triple P manual provided to take home and keep. Triple P helps parents use their parenting skills positively in a range of situations, focusing on setting limits, guiding children positively and helping parents establish what is acceptable - and what is not! The program is suitable for parents of children aged 0 to 12 years old.

Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid is the help provided to a person who is developing a mental health problem, or who is in a mental health crisis, until appropriate professional treatment is received or the crisis resolves. The skills learned in Mental Health First Aid areuseful in everyday life, including in supporting partners, family members, friends, colleagues or customers. The Accoras Mental Health First Aid courses provide participants with an opportunity to hear case studies and share their experiences and questions. Participants will leave equipped with the confidence and skills to support students, colleagues, customers and family members in need, with a strong understanding of the positive outcomes which can occur when Mental Health First Aid is applied.

Mindkit
Mindkit is a series of complementary workshops designed for organisations who want a workplace culture that encourages productive behaviour and mentally healthy employees. Workshops are tailored to specific industries, workplaces, situations and age groups, so each business gets exactly what it needs. Mindkit workshops show businesses how to get the best out of their workplace and their employees, by providing knowledge and strategies for dealing with challenging situations which affect mental wellbeing in the workplace. They provide effective tools for employers and employees alike, building their confidence and ability to effectively manage challenges relating to emotional and behavioural difficulties, including mental illness. Mindkit workshops range from 2 to 14 hours, and can be stand-alone or delivered hierarchically, with management and general employees receiving complimentary information.
