Mental Health Aware Course

Introduction. 

Mental health affects everyone - but not everyone knows how to talk about it. This half-day course gives your team a clear understanding of mental health and wellbeing, practical ways to care for their own mental health, and the confidence to support others who may be struggling.

Delivered by experienced facilitators, it’s ideal as a first step into mental health training or as a wider wellbeing initiative. With interactive sessions, discussion, and easy-to-use resources, your team will leave better equipped to look after themselves and each other.
