Supporting Mental Health is a two-day course providing your team with the practical tools and confidence to support themselves and their colleagues.
A healthy relationship between team members is essential for wellbeing, and has a direct effect on productivity, motivation, and engagement across your organisation.
The Mental Health Toolkit’s qualified trainers teach practical skills, along with a framework for effective communication. This will enable you and your team to feel confident to have open and productive conversations with each other.
According to HSE, poor mental health is now the #1 reason people miss work. This course can help you address this.
Supporting Mental Health will also:
- Provide a clear organising idea and language for understanding and talking about mental health within your organisation
- Explain how people think and communicate when they are experiencing strong emotions
- Develop communication skills to support wellbeing and recovery
- Learn a communication framework to structure support with confidence
- Help release the burden of thinking you need to know all the answers
- Help your team to understand that their role is to facilitate the way forward for their colleagues, not to solve their challenges
- Build on existing skills and experience so people can confidently support others and reach outcomes for challenging situations
- Encourage colleagues to build on their own skills and experience
