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. Â
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.
