Mental Health first Aid

Each year approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health condition and at least 1 in 6 employees experience common mental health problems in the workplace. Research has shown that work is the biggest cause of stress which can stop people performing at their best.

Mental health conditions are often hidden due to stigma and fear of discrimination and research has shown that a culture of fear and silence around mental health is costly to employers.

Modifying the culture of an organisation is essential to a successful mental health programme and mental health training for employees is an essential part of that process.

We can deliver these HABC qualifications/assistance via zoom or face to face.
