It’s estimated that over 44% of Australians experience mental illness at some point in their life, but Lachlan and Daniel at Raising The Bar Foundation see an opportunity to create a safer, healthier and more connected culture within the hospitality industry.

I'm absolutely thrilled to have secured the contribution of $250,000 from the NSW Government to help them design and deliver The Barstool Project, a custom mental health training package for employees working in hospitality and tourism in NSW.

Thank you to the team of industry leaders at The Barstool Brothers, His Boy Elroy, Paul Scully MP and Alison Byrnes MP for your long-term advocacy for community driven support networks within the Illawarra community and across NSW.

Daniel and Lachlan from Raising the Bar Foundation spent the last couple of days at the University of Queensland, training hospitality staff in our Barstool Project package.

The 90-minute module is a bite-sized piece of mental health training, which aims to provide baseline information regarding psychosocial hazards in the hospitality industry, how to identify and prevent their impact, how to recognize signs and symptoms, engage in conversations, and direct people to seek further support.
