Health and Wellbeing Practice

To help organisations manage risk arising from poor mental health we have developed online training that can be used as part of any wellbeing strategy. Our online essentials course raises awareness about stress and mental health and empowers learners to manage their own wellbeing and support their colleagues, family and friends.

This session focusses on the importance of self-care and will be a mix of presentation, reflective and interactive exercises to engage attendees and encourage them to think about their own selfcare practices.

Time is a finite resource that we can’t control. We can however influence how we use our energy to maintain a better work-life balance and maintain positive wellbeing.

MHFA is an internationally recognised training course designed to teach people to spot the signs of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis.

This is the most in-depth MHFA course and teaches attendees to be Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAiders^®). The training is grounded in research and developed with clinical practitioners. It is proven to increase MHFAiders^® confidence in supporting people.

Used to train MHFA champions, this course is ideal for workplace settings and covers mental health and stress aspects.

The Mental Health Aware course is a half day course designed to raise awareness about mental health. The course is delivered by an Accredited MHFA England Instructor Member through slides, video clips, activities, conversation practice, quizzes discussion and case studies.

To maintain competence and confidence in the role of a Mental Health First Aider, MHFA refresher training is essential every three years. By enabling your MHFAiders® to refresh their skills, just as you do for physical first aiders, you can demonstrate your organisation's commitment to treating mental and physical health equally.

The relationship between managers and their team members is key for the health and wellbeing of the whole organisation. Delivered by workplace mental health experts, this course builds skills in your leaders to feel confident to have mental health conversations as part of their everyday management.

Organisations are increasingly starting to see the benefits of promoting a healthy workforce with the introduction of strategic wellbeing programmes becoming more prevalent. Stress and poor mental health in the workplace can impact negatively on performance and productivity resulting in financial losses through high levels of sickness absence, disruption to schedules and a knock-on effect for other employees, reduced productivity and high staff turnover. This is in addition to the human cost in terms of the detrimental impact on health.

Exactly what ‘hybrid’ looks like in terms of the where and when will vary by individuals but many of the risks and opportunities surrounding the ‘how’ will be the same. This series of workshops focuses on:

• How can colleagues and managers stay connected?
• How do we achieve work-life integration?
• How can we optimise technology to work for and not against us?
