SECTION 1
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.
SECTION 2
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.
SECTION 3
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!
SECTION 4
This section looks deeper into how poor mental health can impact businesses and the importance of providing good working conditions. 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.
SECTION 5
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.
About this course
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 £5 return!

I really enjoy this training
This training is delivered well in an engaging manner. The format allows me to do this in between meetings as segments are short. I get a lot from the training and it was a really nice reminder to look for the signs and to have good conversations with peers and direct reports to make them feel supported.
About Time !!!!
Having experienced a member of my family have a breakdown and the impact it has had on all of my family trying to cope with a close family member and still carry on with everyday life including work and still manage through with no support on one to one on my own well being from management in my work it's about time people took their role and led by example with this learning course on mental health !!
good content, rubbish presentation
As you know by now, I find the compulsory videos to be extremely irritating and dismotivating.
I was thoroughly impressed.
Overall, I found the mental health awareness training course to be incredibly beneficial. It not only deepened my understanding of mental health but also provided me with the confidence and skills to effectively support others who may be struggling. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their knowledge and contribute to creating a more supportive and inclusive environment for mental health.
Clear and to the point.

Why is this training important?
Business benefits
According to the HASAWA 1974, employers must “so far as is reasonably practicable” protect the health & safety of their employees by removing or reducing risks in the workplace.
If someone has a mental illness for over 12 months and they can show that it’s causing them disadvantages at work, it can be classed as a disability. This means the employee is protected by the Equality Act if colleagues or their employer were to discriminate against them because of their mental illness. Employers are legally required to make reasonable adjustments to support employees with mental illnesses at work. However, even if it’s not classed as a disability, management should always offer all the support they can.
