Managing Mental Health at Work
A 3.5-hour live session, delivered as part of our Building Inclusive Culture pillar
Building Confidence to Support Mental Health
Poor mental health affects one in four people each year. Despite this, only 24% of managers have received training on mental health at work. This can lead to issues going undetected, employees not receiving the support they need, and a decline in overall performance. This course increases delegates' knowledge and confidence, helping them open up supportive conversations and address concerns effectively.
