workplace mental health training
WMH Training’s aim is to try and improve the awareness of mental ill health
within all organisations. Research shows that by training Mental Health First
Aid “champions” and improving awareness, organisations can significantly improve
the well-being of their workforce. As well as improving the quality of life of
their staff, this strategy is proven to have significant financial benefits to
companies:- Reduce absenteeism from sickness, reduce staff turnover, reduce
“presenteeism”. Build employees’ confidence to have open conversations around
mental health and break the stigma Encourage people to access support early when
needed, for a faster recovery Empower people with a long term mental health
issue or disability to thrive in work Promote a mentally healthy environment,
stopping preventable issues and allowing people to thrive and become more
productive Embed a long term positive culture across entire organisations, where
employees recognise their mental and physical health are supported as equal
parts of the whole person All courses are designed and endorsed by MHFA England.
Materials are based on up to date academic research, developed by people with
lived experience of mental health issues alongside sector experts. Courses are
rigorously piloted before launch, and feedback is regularly reviewed, with
guidance and statistics updated as part of our ongoing product development
cycle.
