An Integrated Approach to Executive Wellbeing

Mental health problems are estimated to cost the Australian community about $3.4 billion per year, of which $1.4 billion is lost through lost productivity. [ABS, 2009]. The World Health Organisation estimates that 35%-45% of absenteeism from work in developed countries is due to mental health problems. [WHO, 2006].

However, around 40% of the economic burden of mental illness can be avoided through early detection and intervention.

Continuous Care Australia offers a fresh, new approach to Executive wellbeing. Our uniquely tailored programme ensures your business is best positioned to achieve maximum return from your Executive team. Whether through targeted individual sessions or our proactive wellbeing workshops, our proven approach will encourage the highest levels of performance and, importantly, personal well-being. Your Executives will have a greater impact on your bottom line, because they will have more to give.

Continuous Care Australia is staffed by recognized executive wellbeing experts. Continuous Care Australia has been established to specifically promote executive wellbeing and high performance. This is achieved by equipping participants with prevention and early identification tools, to proactively address the growing mental health issues in corporate Australia. Our approach is to partner with HR heads and senior management on an ongoing basis to create a “best practice” environment that maximises the likelihood that employees can perform to the best of their ability. Employees who have undertaken our programmes are continually energized, continually renewed and therefore capable of making significant contributions to your company’s future.

Our Philosophy

Wellbeing and mental health rely on an interaction between biological, psychological and social factors.

Some examples of these factors include:

	Biological		Psychological		Social
	Age Diet and weight Fitness Illness history Sleep Patterns Genetic History		Personality traits Coping Skills Self-Concept Life Experience IQ Social and Emotional Intelligence		Current family structure Social engagement Cultural fit Supports Work Role Goodness of current social fit

This “bio-psycho-social model” model underpins cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), the therapeutic paradigm with the strongest evidence base.

We work with individuals to assess their current state and provide direction on how they can improve their wellbeing and flourish, while reducing any potential risks to their functioning.
