October is Mental Health Month, a time to shine a light on one of the most important issues affecting individuals, workplaces, and communities across Australia and the world. At Saxton Group, we believe that sharing powerful stories and practical tools through expert voices is one of the most impactful ways to inspire change.
This October, we invite you to join us in elevating conversations around mental wellbeing by hosting an event, booking a speaker, or simply starting a dialogue. Whether for a workplace lunch & learn, school wellbeing session, conference keynote, or community gathering, Saxton’s diverse range of mental health champions are ready to inspire, educate, and connect.
