Training


ADA Australia offers a range of training options and methods of delivery to identify, manage and address psychological hazards at work, to foster mentally healthy workplace behaviours and norms, and to promote better wellbeing choices and safety practices around drugs and alcohol.


All ADA Australia trainers have their own journeys through depression, anxiety and alcohol and drug dependence. Each has “been there”; and each brings the searing honesty of their own lives and paths to recovery to each presentation.

Their ‘lived experience’ will find the mark with your people - particularly with those who may be confronting their own challenges.

ADA AUSTRALIA
