Mental Health First Aid Training
What is Mental Health First Aid?
Mental Health First Aid teaches people how to recognise the signs of poor mental health, start supportive conversations, and signpost colleagues to appropriate support.
Is Mental Health First Aid the same as counselling?
No. Mental Health First Aiders are not counsellors or therapists. Their role is to provide initial support, listen without judgement, and guide people towards professional help where appropriate.
Who should attend Mental Health First Aid training?
The training is suitable for managers, HR professionals, wellbeing champions, team leaders, and employees who want to support mental health in the workplace.
How many Mental Health First Aiders should we have?
There is no legal requirement, but many organisations aim to have at least one Mental Health First Aider per department, site, or team. The appropriate number depends on your workforce size, locations, shift patterns, and level of risk.
Is Mental Health First Aid training accredited?
Yes. Accredited courses provide learners with a recognised qualification and practical skills they can apply immediately in the workplace.
Does Mental Health First Aid training reduce sickness absence?
While no training can eliminate absence entirely, organisations that invest in mental health awareness and support often report earlier intervention, improved employee confidence, reduced stigma, and better wellbeing outcomes.
How long does the training take?
Course lengths vary depending on the qualification and level chosen. We can discuss the most appropriate option for your organisation.
Menopause in the Workplace Training
Why should employers provide menopause training?
Menopause can significantly affect concentration, confidence, sleep, attendance, and wellbeing. Training helps organisations create supportive workplaces, retain experienced employees, and reduce the impact on productivity.
Is menopause only relevant to women?
No. While menopause directly affects women and some transgender and non-binary individuals, everyone benefits from understanding menopause, including managers, colleagues, and HR teams.
What will employees learn?
Employees will gain an understanding of menopause symptoms, their impact at work, practical coping strategies, and ways to access support.
What will managers learn?
Managers learn how to have supportive conversations, make reasonable workplace adjustments, understand legal considerations, and create an inclusive culture.
What are reasonable workplace adjustments for menopause?
Examples include flexible working arrangements, access to fans or temperature control, regular breaks, adjustments to uniforms, and greater flexibility around wellbeing needs.
Is menopause considered a workplace issue?
Yes. The effects of menopause can impact attendance, performance, and wellbeing. Supporting employees through menopause is increasingly recognised as an important part of workplace wellbeing and inclusion.
Workplace Wellbeing
What is workplace wellbeing?
Workplace wellbeing refers to the physical, mental and emotional health of employees and how their working environment supports their overall wellbeing. A positive wellbeing culture helps employees feel supported, engaged and able to perform at their best.
Why is workplace wellbeing important?
Employee wellbeing has a direct impact on productivity, engagement, retention and sickness absence. Organisations that prioritise wellbeing often benefit from improved morale, reduced turnover and a healthier workplace culture.
What are the benefits of workplace wellbeing training?
Wellbeing training helps employees and managers develop practical skills to manage stress, build resilience and support positive mental health. It can also improve communication, engagement and overall workplace culture.
