Adult Half Day Mental Health Aware
About this course
Investing in mental health in the workplace can help drive organisational success. For every £1 spent by employers on mental health interventions, employers could get back £5.30 in reduced absence, presenteeism, and staff turnover. (Productivity and the cost of poor mental health March 2024).
We will teach you to help reduce stigma around mental health and mental illness, raise mental health awareness and your own wellbeing.
Perhaps you’re not sure what to say to someone or how to help. This experience is fully supported using robust evidence and resources from MHFA England. We will teach you the following:
- What mental health is and how to challenge stigma
- A basic knowledge of some common mental health issues
- An introduction to looking after your own mental health and maintaining wellbeing
- Confidence to support someone in distress or who may be experiencing a mental health issue
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for all adults, Line managers and staff who want to gain the necessary skills to have a non-judgmental conversation, recognise the signs and symptoms of mental health issues and resources for help and support.
This is not a counselling or therapeutic session, purely around awareness so you can feel more empowered to help someone else.
We look forward to welcoming you.
