Bespoke mental health training

Our Bespoke Mental Health Awareness courses can be tailored to meet the specific needs of frontline staff, managers (at all levels) or HR professionals at no extra cost. The aim of these courses is to enable delegates to look after the mental wellbeing and resilience of themselves and others who they come into contact with as part of their work. We understand you may have internal policies and operating procedures in place which we can incorporate into a mental health course most suited for your needs. Educating people about mental health helps to open up conversations, breaks the stigma and encourages mental health resilience. It also raises awareness of where to go for help, allowing people to recover more quickly.
