Introduction to Mental Health

Our Introduction to Mental Health training creates the opportunity to get thinking, talking and learning about mental health in your organisation. It enables you to learn more about common mental health issues and how you can effectively support them.

Why You Need It

 

1 in 4 of us will be diagnosed with a mental illness during our lifetime and many more will have undiagnosed mental health problems. Research shows that employees are often reluctant to take time off work for these problems, partly due to the ongoing stigma associated with mental illness. This presenteeism is likely to affect an employee’s productivity, therefore, making them miss deadlines, decrease motivation and increase the number of mistakes. This is a real business risk.
