Learn more about our blended learning approach
At FactorC we’re on a mission to help leaders build more caring and mentally healthy teams, who enjoy growing together.
We turn knowledge into action
We’ve developed a number of learning campaigns and programs to help you build mentally healthy workplaces.
If you want an immediate solution to improve your workplace mental health, we recommend our WeCARE program.
WeCARE is a flexible mental health learning campaign
to stop little problems getting bigger.

So what is WeCARE?
WeCARE is an award winning learning campaign designed to be implemented across your entire organisation, taking a local leader led approach, enabling team members to show they care and know how to approach and support their colleagues.
It begins with a 20-minute eLearning course, and is amplified by a Guidebook, poster, moodometer wallet card and just-in-time help sheets.
If you need an immediate solution, you can enrol one or more in the eLearning now. Then follow up with our campaign collateral or your own (guidebooks, posters, wallet cards, just-in-time support resources and ‘take action’ email prompts).
Need more custom?
We can customise most facets of the training and campaign materials, including the eLearning, all print materials and running launch events, face-to-face training for managers / facilitators and connecting you with our Care Crew Network or partners in Employee Assistance Program, Mental Health First Aid and coaches.
“We found the content to be high quality and engaging, with best practice advice. I recommend absolutely everyone to complete this fantastic course, because it is suitable for both professional and personal settings.”

The WeCARE eLearning Course is designed to
- Help people to identify someone who is struggling
- Know how to ask R U OK? with empathy
- Guide people to the help they need
WeCARE eLearning can plug into your organisation’s existing Learning Management System (LMS) or you can use our own online portal which can be easily viewed on a phone, tablet or laptop.
The WeCARE program follows the ICARE framework
- Guidance on how to find a mental health savvy GP, prepare for a mental health discussion, and to see a psychologist.
- Encouraging the manager and teammates to stay in contact with the distressed employee
- Encourage regular exercise as a critical strategy.
We have developed a lot of resources to help you support your whole organisation, wherever they are, all year, from digital, to print, to job aides.
To build mentally healthy workplaces, we can’t stop at ‘one off training events’. We have to roll out learning campaigns and care 365.
Benefit of WeCARE blended learning
The Ebbinghaus forgetting curve reveals that we forget 75% of what we learn in one week unless it is reinforced with ongoing reminders.
WeCARE provides a spaced learning approach. By connecting learners to practical content, led by local leaders, accessible from any device, support given in print and digital form, and reminders used, over time, spaced learning enhances recall (Journal of Neuroscience 3 July 2019, Spaced Learning Enhances Episodic Memory by Increasing Neural Pattern Similarity Across Repetitions).
The WeCARE learning campaign provides you and your people the know how and confidence to support a teammate in distress and stop little problems getting bigger.
We have been recognised by our industry and partners.
In eLearning pilots we recently completed with the University of Sydney and Ernst & Young and another 21 organisations
96% rated it 7/10 or above in how likely they would recommend it to a colleague or friend.
