STRONG MINDS, STRONG MINES

Strong Minds, Strong Mines is a mental health and wellbeing initiative created to support the resources and mining industry. We understand the unique challenges faced by workers in remote and high-pressure environments, and we are committed to creating safer, more supportive workplaces where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical safety.

Our approach combines evidence-based research with real-world experience in a personal, relatable style. We address the social, physical and mental aspects of wellbeing, helping organisations strengthen their existing health and safety systems while building a culture of care and connection.

We focus on reducing stigma around mental health in the workplace by encouraging open conversations and providing practical tools that support early recognition and response. Through leadership development, wellness initiatives and practical tools, we help companies create environments where people feel safe, supported and empowered to seek help when they need it.

Strong Minds, Strong Mines delivers a suite of programs designed to enhance mental health, wellbeing, and leadership across the resources and mining industry.
