Mental Health Matters - All Staff

 

Provides all staff with an understanding of mental health and teaches how to enhance personal wellbeing and best support peers and colleagues.

Mental health is a matter that touches us all. And yet all too often we can be reluctant to acknowledge or talk about distress and its potential impact, which paradoxically makes any distress we may be feeling more difficult to manage.

This training is designed to be appropriate for all staff throughout an organisation, providing a solid foundation for better understanding mental health.

Format - we can deliver this virtually as two separate 90 min sessions, or in-person at your workplace as a 3.5 hour workshop (inclusive of breaks).

Number of participants - up to 25.

In the training we: 

  • Provide a safe space to talk about the continuum from mental and emotional wellbeing via distress to illness

  • Look at what stress and burnout are, the work-related risk factors, their impact on us and the business, signs to look out for, and what we can do to prevent them arising.

  • Explore the signs that someone may be struggling, the main ways in which illness can manifest and what we can do

  • Take a closer look at the stigma around mental health, how it shows up and what we can do to break it down as a community

  • Consider how we can best support our peers and colleagues

  • Teach some easily mastered tools to take better care of ourselves and maximise the well-recognised protective factors that promote wellbeing

The overall intention is that participants leave feeling more confident and comfortable approaching the subject of mental health, understand how distress and illness show up, get a handle on the key factors that minimise distress and maximise our wellbeing, and take away with them some tools to do this.

Thank you so much for an amazing session. I feel refreshed and a lot calmer and now know that it is okay to talk to people about how you are feeling and it's okay not to be okay. I will take everything on board to try and improve my mental well being
