The Finance Brokers Association of Australia (FBAA) has launched a new online resource to help brokers manage their wellness.
Launched at an FBAA Unity Event in Drummoyne, Sydney, on 12 September (also R U OK? Day’s National Day of Action), the Wellness Hub connects brokers to mental health professionals and experts, including counsellors, psychologists, and psychotherapists.
FBAA managing director Peter White AM said the idea for the hub came from the realisation that “not everyone has direct access to great professional and expert support”.
Brokers can use the hub to “bypass the system” and find the help they need immediately, without being caught in a “lengthy triaging system”.
The association said: “Our mission at the FBAA Wellness Hub is to provide a supportive and safe space for brokers and finance professionals during challenging times.
“We strive to offer valuable resources, information, and guidance to help individuals navigate hardships and improve overall wellbeing…
“By bringing together a directory of highly recommended mental health professionals and experts all in one place, this hub aims to help expedite your mental wellness journey.
“Sometimes you need professional expert mental health support, whether you are at crisis point or feel it’s just around the corner. The Wellness Hub exists to connect you to the help you need, when you need it, and now.”
