Workplace Mental Health Training
Looking after mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health. Healthy employees are happier and more productive. High quality mental health training can make a lasting difference, giving individuals the knowledge to enable early detection of mental ill health and the confidence to support someone who is facing it.

The 2 day MHFA course was great; it gave me insight in to the issues and tools to help me talk to people in the right way. As a business, we are new defining and clarifying our Mental Health Policy. Don't think too hard about this course, just sign up, you have everything to gaincharlotte Lincoln05/11/2020This was such a useful course, I have already been able to apply what I have learnt in several situations both in my personal life and at work. It was quite intensive over a couple of days and involved a fair bit of home reading. The resources provided are excellent as was the course organisation. Dawn the instructor was lovely and really engaged all the participants who came from a large variety of backgrounds. The course had been really well adapted to the online format. I would thoroughly recommend.Steven Beadle04/11/2020One of the best courses i have ever done. It is very informative and it really shows you how to think things through from a new perspective.
