Workplace
Work-related mental health problems are a major concern within workplaces. Work-related stress is associated with high levels of staff turnover, absenteeism, poor work and poor product quality. On an individual level ongoing or excessive stress can be damaging to workers mental health and wellbeing.
Organisations are recognising the importance of preventing and managing work-related stress. Taking steps towards improving staff wellbeing and helping them to regulate stress, increase focus and feel more motivated can lead to greater work satisfaction and better performance.
Bio-Dash provides organisations with an evidence-based program that can equip staff to deal with work pressures.
We are looking to partner with organisations to develop tailored versions of Bio-Dash to suit their needs. Contact us if you would like to support us with this work.

Bio-Dash is unique in that it incorporates the latest biofeedback technology. Biofeedback enables individuals to obtain real time information about internal processes such as brain activity and physiological functioning in response to established wellbeing strategies. Having tangible data about how specific strategies impact their physiology heightens self-awareness and provides a deeper understanding of the processes involved in regulating emotions so that individuals can improve their ability to enhance concentration, manage stress and alleviate anxiety.
Participants initially learn about biofeedback and stress levels through Biodots which measure changes in skin temperature. These are included in the foundation program. There is also the option to include more advanced devices that measure brain activity, respiration and skin conductance.
The opportunity to ‘see’ the connection between mind and body enables students to identify optimal strategies to target stress and enhance wellbeing and is more likely to lead to regular and sustained practice.
