Mental Health Training

Along with having a mental health policy and procedure, mental health awareness and education is key to reducing the stigma associated with mental ill-health and being able to manage it successfully within your business. Providing quality mental health training for managers and employees is an effective way to reduce issues and promote better wellbeing.

Everyone Has Limits

The Health and Safety report published in November 2020, indicated that 69% of line managers in the UK claimed that supporting employee wellbeing was a core skill but only 13% had received any mental health training. 35% of line managers expressed a wish for basic training in mental health conditions.
It’s vitally important that you as an employer know what to do and how to help when people working for you are having mental health difficulties. And it’s equally important that anyone in a position of responsibility does, too.
