Equip your staff with the skills to help someone in a mental health crisis. Designed by mental health instructors, NHS mental health professionals and the first aid industry body (FAIB), our courses will provide your staff with the tools they need.
Current courses on the market had their origins in other countries and it was felt they were not well suited to the UK workplace where “Do you want a cup of tea?” might be a better first approach than “I’m your mental health champion” when someone is showing signs of being in crisis.
Our courses also provide more focus on common mental health struggles such as stress and depression, whilst still giving people the tools they need for more complex difficulties.
There are three courses to choose from:
- Mental Health Awareness (MHA)
- Mental Health in the Workplace (MHW)
- Mental Health and Well Being in the Workplace (MHWB)
If this sounds like something that could help in your workplace then please contact us.
