TrackSAFE Foundation's 10th Anniversary: Transforming Rail Mental Health
TrackSAFE Foundation addresses rail suicide (76 deaths annually in Australia, mostly male). Their trauma management framework and R U OK Day initiatives encourage workplace conversations about mental health. Through peer support programs, mental health first aid training, and Rail Safety Week, they’ve created a culture where railway workers feel comfortable seeking help rather than suffering alone.
