Mental Health & Safety
Speaker / Facilitator

Just because you can't see it,
doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Excessive workplace stress can interfere with your productivity and impact your physical and mental health & wellbeing.

Life changed for Michael and his family on the morning of 19th April 2013. Whilst Michael was about to commute to work, he was found by his Neighbour unconscious and not breathing.

Whilst Michael survived, he and his wife Donna had spent  2 years searching for a diagnosis and answers to why Michael cannot function as he had prior to the incident.

As Doctors and Specialists began investigating further into Michael’s condition, Anxiety, Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) were diagnosed.

A team of dedicated Doctors and Specialists assisted Michael with his successful yet ongoing recovery and rehabilitation.

Michael Weston has worked in the mining industry within Western Australia for 20 years. Commodities such as Gold and Nickel made up 4 years of his experience with the past 16 years being devoted within the Iron Ore Production and Export industry located across the Pilbara Region…

“Michael’s story was perfect to set the scene for the future where Hatch focusses on our peoples health and wellbeing. Some employees were so impressed that there is talk of getting Michael back to tell his story to our board (from Canada) which meets in February ’19. Thanks Michael and Donna for your continuous efforts to raise awareness of the risks of NOT looking after your health and wellbeing. We at Hatch took notice!”
