This training workshop takes a practical skills-based approach to understanding and managing staff mental health.

What we cover

• Understanding common mental health difficulties and how they might impact on people’s work
• Recognising the signs and symptoms
• How to raise the issue; how to respond to disclosures
• Managing the team dynamics
• Supporting sickness absence and returns to work
• Reasonable adjustments
• Referring on; when and where?
• What to do in a mental health crisis
• The importance of self-care

Delivery

• One-day face to face training delivered through a combination of taught input, videos, group work and case studies. Optimum numbers 12- 18. Minimum number 6.
• A shorter 3.5-hour online version is available but the value of being in a room together, the build-up of trust over the day, the use of in-person skills practice and the flexibility around discussion means that the full value of the learning experience is compromised. Attendance on the general mental health awareness session is also a pre-requisite for the online version to ensure all areas are covered.

We will always consult with you beforehand to ensure that it is entirely relevant and appropriate for you and reference any HR policies or guidelines you have in place.
