COURSE OVERVIEW

Mental health affects every workplace. But many managers still feel unsure what to say — or worry about saying the wrong thing. 

This Mental Health Workplace Training helps your team feel more confident and capable when it comes to conversations about wellbeing. You’ll learn how to spot early signs, offer support, and know what your role is — and what it isn’t. 

We’ll also explore how to create an open, supportive culture, so staff feel safe bringing their whole selves to work.

Workplace Mental Helath Training- Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our Workplace Mental Health Training below, and get in touch if you need further assistance

Do I need a background in mental health to attend?

No. This training is designed for people with no clinical experience — just real responsibility.

Is this about wellbeing or performance?

Both. Supporting mental health is key to sustainable performance and retention.

Can this be delivered online?

Yes, we can deliver this training online. However, we recommend in-person delivery where possible.

Mental health is a sensitive topic, and being in the same room often helps participants feel more connected, engaged, and comfortable opening up. In-person sessions also allow for better interaction during group activities, scenario work, and reflective discussions — all key parts of this training.

That said, we’re happy to adapt for remote or hybrid teams when needed.

Who delivers the training?

Facilitators with lived and professional experience in mental health, employment, and inclusive leadership.

Does the training include legal or policy guidance?

We will touch on the Equality Act, absence processes, and signposting — but the core focus is practical support.

Is this suitable for small organisations?

Yes. We keep it practical, flexible, and focused on what works, regardless of size.

Do participants receive take-away resources?

Yes. Everyone gets digital tools to support them after the session.
