Poor workplace mental health is costing your business.
People. Productivity. Profit.


If your people aren't okay, your business isn’t okay.


“When Andy first approached me as a business owner about mental health awareness in the workplace, it struck a chord.
Andy brings real experience, empathy and a no-nonsense approach to mental health in the workplace. A fresh approach that I knew we needed in our business.
We trialled the support circle toolkit in beta format, and it has given us a complete insight in how to help staff and improve conversations and awareness around us.
The mental health cost calculator is a real eye opener for any business owners.
We look forward to continuing working with Life First Then Work and improving our business.”
- Damien McGrath (Giggs and McGrath)
