The first round of the Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s SMILE training program has been delivered, and now the business group is inviting more KCCI members to book in.<\/p>\n

SMILE, which stands for “Supporting Mental Wellbeing through Information, Leadership and Education”, aims to\u00a0create awareness in local businesses about mental wellbeing in the workplace as well as ensuring business owners\/managers are supported.<\/p>\n

The program, which was launched in June, is being run with the guidance of KCCI member Michael Sanford, from Bunyarra Counselling and Mediation.<\/p>\n

Two people from KCCI member businesses are being offered a free NICL (Noticing, Inquiring, Connecting and Linking) group training session.<\/p>\n

The first round of training was delivered to 18 KCCI members free of charge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If a business in the region is the member of the KCCI, we will fund two people from that business to do the NICL training,” KCCI president Damien Martoo said.<\/p>\n

“We hope future funding applications will allow us to roll this training out to more staff and more businesses across the region.<\/p>\n

“Alternatively, businesses can engage Bunyarra Counselling and Mediation themselves to deliver the NICL training.”<\/p>\n

The KCCI’s next rounds of NICL training will be held at Kingaroy RSL Club’s Anzac Room from 5:30pm to 7:30pm on August 16, September 6 and September 20.<\/p>\n

KCCI members should email expressions of interest to info@kcci.asn.au<\/a><\/strong> with their preferred date and the names of attendees.<\/p>\n
