Managing Mental Health at Work

Managers often feel ill-equipped to address mental health issues, with only 24% having received training in this area. This can lead them to avoid these discussions, often resulting in employees not receiving the support they need.

Our Managing Mental Health at Work training course aims to develop managers’ knowledge and confidence, putting them in a stronger position to open up supportive conversations with staff so that they can better understand their needs and help them to fulfil their potential.
