Mental Health Courses
Mental Health encompasses our overall wellbeing. It includes our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing, and affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, interact and relate to others, and make everyday choices and decisions.
People that have positive Mental Health in the workplace are more likely to work productively, interact with clients and work colleagues and thrive within the workplace.
Our Mental Health training helps you manage your own and your employees’ mental health.
You will learn about Mental Health and how to identify, understand, and support someone who may be experiencing a decline in their Mental Health. The training also helps the business to develop their skills and knowledge to have Mental Health conversation with their teams.
The UKs highest rated training provider three years running.
