Free ‘Lunch and Learn’ webinars for jobseekers during October, Mental Health Month
Paralympic Matt Levy understands a thing or two about overcoming obstacles. Born at 15 weeks premature with cerebral palsy and vision impairment, Matt has survived over 50 operations on his brain, heart, lungs and ears. Incredibly, he has competed in four consecutive Paralympic Games, winning two gold, one silver and four bronze medals. Matt is one of the exceptional speakers that are providing free ‘lunch and learn’ webinars speaking on mental resilience for jobseekers during October, which is Mental Health Month.
“2020 has certainly thrown a number of curveballs for many people and it’s important to look for ways to navigate this time. Looking for work can require a lot of mental fortitude in the best of times, let alone during a pandemic,” says Matt. “I’m keen to share my experience and hopefully provide some motivation to jobseekers by talking about the different versions of success, resilience, learning to adapt and having a framework to be the best version of yourself. I think all of these topics are particularly relevant for right now.”
The free webinar series is presented by Arriba Group, a group of companies that are reshaping the future of thousands of Australians through return to work, disability employment and NDIS allied health services.
Marcella Romero, Arriba Group CEO, says “We see the psychological effect that being a job seeker in the current environment can have on individuals, often leading to poor mental health. This applies to all individuals, especially those living with mental health issues or physical disabilities. It is important to have the tools necessary to manage your mental health as a job seeker. That is why we are hosting a series of free Lunch and Learn webinars aimed at helping job seekers to manage their mental health while navigating the process of finding employment.
“We have organised a range of exceptional special guest speakers who will provide an insight into overcoming adversity while looking for work, returning to work and facing unemployment. These speakers have a combination of lived experiences and professional expertise, so they are well-equipped to guide people in the right direction, no matter what their circumstances are.”
