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

- Mental Health Management: Balancing care and efficiency: Guiding managers to support and manage Mental Health in the workplace
