Mental Health Awareness Training

Building Understanding, One Conversation at a Time

If we were sitting together in a room today, I'd probably start by asking - when was the last time you checked in on a colleague? Really checked in, beyond the usual "how was your weekend?"

As Maya Angelou reminds us, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." Sometimes that untold story is someone struggling with their mental health, wondering if anyone notices, if anyone cares.

Here's what I've learned: Mental health isn't something that happens to "other people." It's part of the human experience, and creating workplaces where people feel safe to be authentic about their struggles isn't just nice to have - it's essential.

The mental health awareness training gives your people the tools they need to:

  • Understand what mental health really is and how to challenge the stigma that keeps people suffering in silence

  • Recognise common mental health challenges - because knowledge removes fear

  • Look after their own wellbeing with practical, everyday strategies that actually work

  • Support colleagues with confidence - knowing what to say, how to listen, and when to seek help

Online Training: Ideal for teams spread across locations or individuals who prefer to learn at their own pace. Face-to-Face Sessions: Interactive, engaging workshops that build connection alongside understanding

Why This Matters

The way I see it, when we equip our teams with mental health awareness, we're not just ticking a training box. We're creating ripple effects. Each person who learns these skills passes that understanding on to others - their families, their friends, their communities.

Let's pass it on. Because when we all take responsibility for creating mentally healthy workplaces, everyone benefits.
