Confidence to support mental wellbeing.
OUR APPROACH
This training is designed to give managers the confidence and practical skills needed to support mental wellbeing within their teams.
We focus on real-world scenarios and clear, actionable strategies that managers can apply immediately. By combining awareness with practical guidance, the course helps managers respond appropriately while maintaining professional boundaries and supporting organisational objectives.
Recognising and responding to mental health needs
MODULE ONE
Managers are often the first point of contact when an employee is struggling. This course provides the essential skills to recognise early signs of mental health challenges such as stress, anxiety, and burnout.
Participants learn how to approach sensitive conversations with confidence, listen effectively, and respond in a supportive and appropriate way. The focus is on building awareness while maintaining professional boundaries, ensuring both the employee and organisation are supported.
Creating a mentally healthy team culture
MODULE TWO
This section focuses on proactive strategies to promote a culture of wellbeing across teams. Managers gain insight into implementing reasonable adjustments, reducing workplace stressors, and supporting employees returning to work after illness.
The training also covers effective communication techniques and how to collaborate with occupational health professionals to ensure the best outcomes for both employees and the organisation. This helps to improve engagement, retention, and overall team performance.
