Mental Health issues in the Workplace is becoming more recognised with about 1 in 6 people experiencing Mental Health issues in the workplace. This can lead to stress, underachievement and absences. Until now, this has, to some extent, been suppressed to avoid stigma labelling and fear of the loss of a job.
These Mental health courses help employers and fellow staff recognise the symptoms, to start a supportive conversation and to signpost further help.
These courses can be classroom based or via a virtual classroom. Classroom and Virtual Classroom dates can be found on the calendar or contact us for a private Group Booking.
