Super objective: To equip managers with the confidence and basic skills to support, communicate and interact with staff experiencing mental health conditions and distress.
Description: The third most commonly reported cause of stress in the work place is managerial style and yet only 22% of managers are trained in how to support staff. Mental Health Awareness for Managers is a highly practical and interactive course that gives managers an opportunity to explore what they can do to help staff feel safe, supported and understood. This training is a follow on programme and ideally participants will have previously attended our Mental Health Awareness course.
