First aid for mental health

Mental health is one of the biggest causes of workplace absence. Our courses give your people the confidence to notice when someone's struggling, and to help.

Why it matters

Everyone has mental health

Just as we train people to help with a physical injury, mental health first aid training helps your team support a colleague who's struggling, early, and without judgement.

  • Spot the early signs that someone may be struggling
  • Start a supportive conversation with confidence
  • Know how and where to signpost for further help
  • Help build a workplace where it's okay to talk
Supportive conversation at work

Keep talking

The conversation doesn't end at the course

Training is the start. We help you keep mental health on the agenda long after the course finishes, with practical advice on building a workplace where people feel able to speak up and ask for help.

Health. Training. Wellbeing.
