Empower your staff to identify poor mental health, challenge workplace stigma, and safely intervene in a crisis. Become an Ambassador for Mental Health in your workplace today.
This Mental Health & Wellbeing 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—particularly in sectors like Education, Health, and Social Care.
This comprehensive 2-Day MHWB course is designed to initiate a complete culture shift. 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.
Over two intensive days, delegates will explore a wide range of mental health conditions and learn practical, actionable intervention strategies.
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 safely intervene when someone is experiencing suicidal feelings or self-injurious behaviour. Learn how to secure immediate professional help.
Understand complex conditions including Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Learn how low self-esteem drives unhelpful behaviours.
Understand employer legal guidelines and learn exactly how to signpost individuals to professional NHS services, including IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies).
Become a certified Ambassador for Mental Health and Wellbeing.
