We, at Seed Skills cannot speak highly enough of the professional service we receive from Sally and the team at Career Development Centre.
Their provision of responsive, professional and effective counselling and support service for our employees in managing both workplace and personal stressors has been invaluable.
After using CDC as our Employee Assistance provider for over 12 months it was without hesitation that our organisation put the staff through their online mental health awareness induction. This program has been highly beneficial in ensuring the team can now draw on evidence based tools to help themselves and their team members. Not only has it given staff the vital tools, it has also helped create transparent and healthy conversations surrounding Mental Illness.
Mental wellbeing is so important and the support mechanisms we have in place with CDC offer security in knowing our staff are well cared for in a confidential and safe setting.
