Engage Health is a leading provider of evidence-based mental health prevention programs for emergency services and organisations. We instil a culture of prevention, early intervention, mental wellbeing and safety. Our proactive WISE neuroplasticity program integrates evidence-based practices and tools to create environments where employees can reduce stress, recover quicker from incidents and thrive in the face of adversity.

Our innovative approach integrates proactive mental health prevention with central nervous system regulation, creating an essential bridge between mental and physical health that has proven to be incredibly effective.

Unlike traditional programs which fail to deeply engage employees or train the mind, our success is rooted in targeted strength training for the brain. This neuroplasticity work drives lasting structural changes in the brain and sharpens mental fitness, while giving your people the somatic tools to actively down-regulate, recover, and reset under pressure.

The WISE program is a testament to our commitment to prevention, empowering individuals through proactive evidence-based methods to mitigate risk and navigate stress, distress and trauma. Collaborating with diverse organisations, from police and emergency services through to schools and corporates, this unique program not only prevents injuries, but also promotes sustainable long-term habits.

Our work in this neuroplasticity space is exciting and innovative. We understand prevention strategies are required for sustained positive change. With significant improvements in wellbeing, safety, performance, productivity and injury reduction we guarantee a return on your investment (ROI).

About the Owner

Founded in 2012 by Director Sally Cumming, Engage Health delivers transformative nervous system and mental health prevention training across Australia, New Zealand, and more recently, the United States.

Sally identified a critical gap in traditional workplace mental health programs. While conversations and mental health support was increasing, teams lacked the practical tools to navigate active dysregulation, reset the nervous system and sustain long-term recovery, particularly in high-pressure environments where risks cannot be fully eliminated. In response, she created the WISE neuroplasticity program: an evidence-based framework designed to interrupt chronic stress, facilitate rapid nervous system resets, calm the mind, improve sleep and restore internal regulation before burnout and psychological injury take hold.

Through the WISE program, Sally equips workforces across frontline emergency services, corporate enterprises, government agencies, education, and the not-for-profit sector with immediate, real-world tools for self-regulation and sustainable recovery. She also delivers advanced professional development to clinicians, psychologists, social workers, and rehabilitation specialists supporting individuals navigating severe psychological distress, trauma, anxiety, and empathic distress.
