Mental Health First Aid

What can we do for you?

We can offer a range of training and consultancy services to support you in minimising the impact of mental ill health upon your business and your people, whilst proactively promoting and nurturing a healthy workplace environment. Our Mental Health First Aid training is a one-day workshop which teaches people how to identify, understand and support someone who may be developing a mental health issue.

How does it work?

We can work in partnership with you to create a culture in which your managers and general employees are not only more open in discussing mental health issues, but also able to seek or offer support more readily.
