Mental Health is just as important as your physical health. People living with mental health issues may suffer in silence.
If a member of your team, or even yourself, goes through a period of poor mental health, they may find everyday tasks becoming more difficult, or even impossible, to cope with. This may feel just as
bad as a physical condition, or often even worse.
Mental health problems affect around one person in four in any given year, and since COVID-19 there has been a significant rise in people struggling with their mental health.
We offer three training courses for mental health in which the aims and objectives are to raise awareness
and how to give First Aid with support to any employee that may suffer from mental health or mental illness.
The three training courses for mental health training are:
Mental Health Awareness: Recognise, respond, support: Building awareness for better Mental Health
Our Mental Health Awareness Course is for staff and co-workers to gain skills in becoming aware of how mental health can affect your team, colleagues and yourself.- Mental Health First Aid: Recognize, respond, and support Mental Health with confidence
Our Two-Day Mental Health First Aid Course is to teach businesses how they can help treat their mental health employees.
- Mental Health Management: Balancing care and efficiency: Guiding managers to support and manage Mental Health in the workplace
Our Mental Health Management course is aimed at managers that are currently or have previously managed members of staff that are dealing with issues of mental health.

Mental Health Management: Balancing care and efficiency: Guiding managers to support and manage Mental Health in the workplace
Course Code: FAM29 | Duration: 1 Day
One of the most important tasks for an employer is to make the work place a positive and constructive place to work for any employee who has a mental health or illness. An employee`s performance, reliability and commitment will improve if their mental health and wellbeing is in a positive state.
Mental Health Management is aimed at managers that will have to work with staff that are suffering from a mental health illness or issue. Being caring and understanding are the most important qualities to have. However, a business stills needs to be able to run efficiently and other members of staff will have work in an environment with a staff member that may need to be treated or have consideration due to their illness or problem. Making decisions for the good of your business instead of your staff can be a very hard task to manage. This course will show how management should deal with mental health situations in the workplace and create a safe space.
