Mental health is no longer a peripheral concern – it’s a critical component of workplace safety and performance. This session introduces Mining the Mind, a five-year strategic framework designed to integrate psychological well-being into the heart of health and safety practices in mining. 

Learn how this approach positions mental health as both a moral responsibility and a business imperative, leveraging evidence-based interventions and measurable outcomes to build psychologically safe, inclusive, and resilient workplaces. Attendees will gain practical insights into creating environments where people thrive – because a healthy mind is as essential as a safe mine.
