Mental Health Awareness Training For Employees

Building a resilient, open-culture where every person thrives

Workplaces are under more mental-health pressure than ever — globally, an estimated 12 billion working days are lost annually due to depression and anxiety. 

Our 60-minute interactive training equips employees with the knowledge, awareness and tools needed to spot mental health challenges in themselves and others, reduce stigma and contribute positively to their workplace culture.

Why this matters

• Employees who feel supported in mental-health matters are more engaged, productive and loyal. 
• Training in mental-health awareness can deliver around £5 return for every £1 spent. 
• Awareness and early intervention reduce the risk of long-term absence, presenteeism and turnover.

What This Mental Health Awareness Training Covers:

• De-mystifying mental health and mental illness to break down misconceptions.
• Exploring the impact of mental health on productivity, relationships, resilience, and physical health.
• Spotting the early signs: How to recognise stress, anxiety, burnout and disengagement in self and colleagues.
• Stigma & culture: How silence, “just get on with it” attitudes and unconscious bias block help-seeking.
• Tools & supports: Practical strategies for self-care, peer-support, and effective use of workplace resources.
• Building confidence and skills to discuss mental health and support colleagues effectively.
• Taking action: What employees can do — and what makes a supportive culture — helping build psychological safety and connection.

This workshop is suitable for employees at all levels. For senior staff, we recommend our Mental Health for Managers workshop, which provides leadership-specific strategies to foster a mentally healthy workplace.
