Mental Health Awareness Training for Managers
This Mental Health Awareness Training for Managers is designed to make management teams aware of mental health issues and illnesses inside and outside the workplace. It provides wellbeing-management techniques and aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health at work.
Poor mental health is a very serious issue at work. It can have a huge impact on productivity and it can create a negative working environment. Management teams have a duty to recognise and acknowledge poor mental health and they must know how to deal with a variety of situations relating to the topic.
This Mental Health Awareness Training for Managers raises awareness of mental health and it explains different working practices that management can use to offer support to colleagues. It also provides simple and effective tools that can be used on a daily basis for management to enhance both their own and their employee's mental health.
It's not only a moral responsibility to take care of one another at work... it makes financial sense too. For every £1 that an organisation invests in improving the mental health of their staff, they see an average of a £4.20 return!

Covered in this course
The Mental Health Awareness Training for Managers course is broken down into 5 sections.
1) Mental Health Awareness
This section provides a complete overview of mental health and raises awareness about removing stigma, the importance of good mental health and the common triggers of poor mental health. It also provides an insight into what can influence negative thought patterns, which are proven to impact productivity levels.
2) Mental Health Problems
How do you go about managing poor mental health? Particularly things like loneliness, stress, depression or anxiety? We give you guidance and practical tips on how to do so, and we look at changes in staff behaviour and what to watch out for. Section 2 also has additional resources that provide handy overviews of other mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and personality disorders.
3) Wellbeing Toolkit
Here is your very own Wellbeing Toolkit that can be used to manage day-to-day mental health! It offers a variety of mini exercises, insights, practical strategies and some food for thought - so you can use whatever suits you!
4) Tips for Management

We look at the importance of having a 'mental health at work plan', making workplace adjustments when needed and we also show you how to effectively monitor staff wellbeing at regular intervals.
5) External Help
In this final section, we've created a 'hub' for external mental health management. It offers great starting points for improving wellbeing, information on external books, websites, apps and helplines.

A very useful and positive course.
This course has given me some useful tips to start practising more positive thought processes, taking the time to breath properly and encourage me to drink more water and look after myself.
ok but somewhat simplistic
clear teaching but difficult to put in to practice when working for CVS. Time pressures do not usually allow time for chat. Does not give any instruction on how to cope with mad employees!!!
Very informative
Although a lot of it is common sense there was a lot of useful facts in this presentation.
Well presented and easy to understand.
As someone who has experienced MH issues in the past (work related stress), I found this a good course to remind me what we all need to be doing to help ourselves and our colleagues.
Interesting and useful
Some very interesting ideas and useful tips, particularly for recognizing some of the early signs of mental health issues. Definitely some ideas which can be easily put into practice and incorporated into both the work and home environment.
Very clear and helpful
No summary provided
Good intentions but slightly patronising
Whilst there are many good messages within this video I found the use of small demon style characters to be somewhat patronising to those who suffer from mental health issues. I suggest researching the World Health Organisations video of the black dog to illustrate how depression works for example, my experience with depression and those who have suffered from it, is that the black dog analogy is as good as anybody has ever come to explaining the illness.
