Become Mental Health Aware

Mental ill-health costs UK employers up to £45 billion each year. For every £1 spent on supporting their people’s mental health, employers get £5 back on their investment in reduced presenteeism, absenteeism and staff turnover.

This half-day course from Mental Health First Aid England and delivered by our expert trainer will give you a better understanding of your own and others’ mental health.

How is this course delivered

Virtual learning – this is where a classroom based experience is delivered online, via our ted Learning Hub. Instead of a full day in the classroom, we break the session down into bite-size interactions. Learners can join from any location and participate in the training experience. Our virtual classroom features break out rooms, drama-based learning with our actors & discussions.

We limit time in this environment to around 40-minute sessions to maintain learner engagement.
