Mental health awareness is becoming an increasingly important tool for effective management in the workplace. Managers need to be acutely aware of how poor mental health and wellbeing can impact their staff and learn how to effectively help employees when problems arise.
Our face to face Mental Health Training For Managers course involves a one-day training designed to increase knowledge and confidence around mental health. It is an opportunity for delegates to explore and implement practical approaches within the workplace.
This training can play a key role in boosting your organisation’s employee wellbeing strategy. By providing mental health awareness training for managers, you’re also demonstrating your commitment as an employer to your workforce’s mental wellbeing.
It can also form a significant part of a manager’s professional development, helping them to become more attentive to people’s behaviour and needs, improving their ability to delegate and make changes, empowering them to build a happy and productive team.
This course is supported by West Midlands Academic Health Science Network (WMAHSN).
