Course Summary
Our Lunch and Learn sessions improve employee mental health awareness and overall wellness, helping them tackle stress and look after their own wellbeing at work.
Mental Health and Wellness Lunch and Learn sessions are ideal for bringing employees from all areas of the business together, to discuss topics that can affect all of us. Sessions aim to benefit employees’ wellbeing personally but are also beneficial for the whole organisation.
Resilience and Change and Mental Health at Work are most-requested wellness Lunch and Learn topics, delivered via interactive one-hour sessions, but we cover a range of topics to support employee wellness. We’re experienced at catering to both large and small corporate environments. Our sessions are bespoke, sector-specific training workshops, tailored to your organisation’s requirements.
The Lunch and Learns are often very popular with employees, and can tie in nicely with wellbeing awareness days such as Mental Health Awareness Week, World Mental Health Day and Stress Awareness Day.

Mental Health & Wellness Lunch & Learns Feedback
I’ve had the chance to participate in two really enlightening workshops run by Katie. The workshops were informative and engaging… and a real help in raising stress awareness in a powerful visual way.
Thank you so much for the session today on “starting a conversation about mental health”. The trainer was clear, open and informative - oh and friendly too.
Sharing personal stories helped the attendees see the human side of mental health, and made talking about MH accessible, non judgemental and person centred. By encouraging input & asking open questions the trainer created a safe space.
Providing a framework and identifying early signs gave us all practical take aways to apply personally & with our teams. Thank you.
Bring your employee wellbeing strategy to life with Lunch and Learn sessions
Lunch and learns are a great way of successfully disseminating information to your entire workforce. As such, they’re an ideal way of engaging and enthusing your employees with your employee wellbeing programme.
The sessions are a less formal way of learning and employees are often very receptive to their format. They’re a break from the norm as you’ll be raising awareness of mental health in a fun, absorbing way. Attendees also appreciate that the focus is on them – developing their knowledge and, ultimately, improving their wellbeing.
The Lunch and Learns can help to direct your staff to your wellbeing services such as Mental Health First Aiders, Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), gym/fitness discounts, virtual GP services or any other relevant wellbeing benefits. By raising awareness of these services, they’re more likely to use them and they’ll also be able to direct other employees to appropriate services should any warning signs arise.
