managing your emotional responses
The Covid Tracer App is here to protect us, and notify us if we have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
If you receive an alert, it’s important that you follow the advice within the alert. As we get use to these alerts coming through it can make us feel anxious, so the team has created some videos to help us recognise the emotions that could crop up and also how we can manage those emotions.

mates invitations – knowing how to spot the invitations
What are Invitations?
When your mate is struggling he may find it difficult to tell you what is going on. If you notice things have changed for them, don’t ignore it. This is an “invitation” or they are telling you in the best way they can that they need some help.
These are not one-off incidences, but rather happening more often than usual. Take 10 seconds of courage to step into their space for 10 seconds and ask, “hey mate, are you OK?” Then listen to what they have to say.
Do you see your mate angry and agitated easily?
Do you see your mate drinking a lot more than usual?
Do you see your mate isolating himself and not wanting to talk to people?
Do you see your mate unable to concentrate and drift off?
Do you see your mate showing up late or even not making it to work at all?
