Empower your staff to identify poor mental health, challenge workplace stigma, and safely intervene in a crisis. Gain the essential knowledge to support your team in just one day.
This Workplace Mental Health course is officially accredited by the First Aid Industry Body (FAIB). Our curriculum is continuously monitored and strictly audited to ensure it meets the highest national standards for workplace mental health training.
Employers have a legal "duty of care" under the Equality Act 2010 to assess the risk of work-related stress and support the health and safety of their employees. Yet, many workplaces are entirely unprepared for a mental health crisis.
Workload pressures, tight deadlines, and role uncertainty are driving unprecedented levels of stress in the modern workplace.
Our condensed 1-Day WMH course is designed for busy teams. We train your staff to recognize the invisible signs of distress, confidently initiate difficult conversations using our structured D.I.S.C.U.S.S Action Plan, and guide their colleagues toward professional help before a crisis escalates.
This intensive 1-day course equips delegates with practical intervention strategies and awareness of common mental health conditions.
Learn the difference between mental health problems and positive wellbeing. Explore the Mental Health Continuum Model and understand the history of stigma—and how to challenge it.
Master our proprietary framework for intervention: Danger assessment, Identifying signs, Starting conversations, Confidentiality, Using self-help, Support, and Signposting.
Identify the physical and emotional symptoms of extreme stress, panic attacks, PTSD, and clinical depression. Learn how to actively listen without judgment.
Gain the critical knowledge needed to identify when someone is experiencing suicidal feelings and learn exactly what steps to take to secure immediate professional help in a crisis.
Understand the employer's role in supporting employees on sickness leave and returning to work. Learn how to implement a Wellness Action Plan in your own organization.
Understand employer legal guidelines and learn exactly how to signpost individuals to professional NHS services, including IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies).
While this 1-day course covers the essentials, our 2-Day Mental Health & Wellbeing Course goes much deeper.
