Men supporting women in the sector to progress their careers

Being authentic, tenacious, confident, a strong communicator, focused were adjectives the panel used but not only for women. These are the attributes all good leaders need to demonstrate. #ESFBetterTogether

Fantastic conversation today at @ESF_Victoria IWD event on how do women lead differently and is this helpful for the sector? #EmbraceEquity

#TonysTrek aims to raise awareness of the mental toll emergency service work can take on the those who work and volunteer to support our communities when disaster strikes. @FFMVic_Chief @FFMVic - Tony's Trek Ambassador

We are SO grateful to have Anthony as an ESF/ #TonysTrek ambassador - which is raising funds to enable us to train ambassadors to safely share their stories of MH and recovery. Reducing stigma is essential as it inhibits early help-seeking when the chance of recovery is greatest.

All spoke of the individual and organisational transformation that can be achieved. A huge thank you to all who attended this important conversation today and to @MaddocksLawyers for hosting us. #ESFBetterTogether

Today is a day to pause and remember the police who have lost their lives in serving our community. Memorial services can trigger a range of emotions. Never underestimate the value of speaking with a trusted friend or professional about how you are feeling.

Some fantastic sector specific resources. Remember, you don’t need to wait for R U Ok Day to start a conversation💡 Check in on others, and more importantly; on yourself often, allow time for self care and seek help when you feel you may need it.

🧵 1/5 We have made the difficult decision to postpone #TonyTrek until the new year.

We are thrilled to release the Well Beyond Retirement Framework. Developed with the ESF Learning Network, this evidence-informed framework provides agencies with a leading practice systemic approach to help to people be prepare to flourish in retirement 🔗 esf.com.au/programs/trans…

How fantastic is this token of appreciation I received for bringing ESF’s Mental Health Matters program to a group including @VictoriaPolice members from Glen Waverley and their partners. Thank you Nat and Greg Dean!

If COVID has taught us anything, it could be that #WF2022 can still create team #culture. My @ESF_Victoria colleagues have asked not to be named for some strange reason… 📷 Shared with permission
