We’ve been delivering training in mental health and wellbeing for many years. We understand what can happen when employees start to struggle with their mental health, fear being penalised for discussing it, or don’t get the understanding and support they need from their team or line manager. We understand that having conversations about mental health can be challenging and many managers feel they don’t have the knowledge and skills to be able to do so.

Our courses can be delivered in person or online as 1 hour ‘lunch and learn’ workshops, half day or full day.

We are creative in the use of online platforms and tools to deliver on learning objectives and bring the same energy to the remote workshops as we create in our face-to-face environment.

All of our courses are designed to empower attendees to join in the conversation to ensure a rich learning experience. Our trainers create a safe space for people to share their own experiences and knowledge if they choose. We teach practical tools and exercises that employees are able to implement straight away.
