It is with great pride that we announce our WeCARE partnership with AON Australia and New Zealand.

As many of you would know I have been striving to improve employee mental health and resilience for over 10 years.

Just over two years ago I met eLearning expert Brenden Carter and we Co-Founded FactorC – a company dedicated to creating scalable mental health solutions.

After pilots with EY and the University of Sydney we created WeCARE – is a flexible mental health learning campaign.

We have had great feedback for this product including the Volkswagen testimonial below.

“We purchased WeCARE because we identified that mental health was a concern across our organisation.  We wanted a practical, scalable and cost-efficient way to address this issue for our team of over 5000 people at 135 locations.

We found the content to be high quality and engaging, with best practice advice. It was quick and cost effective to launch, and suitable for a wide range of work settings.

I would recommend absolutely everyone to complete this fantastic course, because it is suitable for both professional and personal settings.”
