Workplace Mental Health Training for Managers
Mental health training for managers is essential for businesses that want to support the mental wellbeing of their employees.
This 7-hour mental health awareness training course is designed to support anyone involved in the management of people, such as line managers, supervisors, HR professionals and occupational health staff.
The course will provide practical guidance and give attendees the skills and confidence to have those difficult, and often challenging, conversations around mental health and wellbeing.
Mental Health Awareness Training for Managers: Course Overview
The Managing Mental Health Course is designed to give workplace leaders the tools and knowledge to promote positive mental health at work successfully.
Attendees will not only understand more about mental health (including the legal guidelines around mental health at work), but will learn how to have mental health conversations with staff, which can often prove challenging.
All of this learning takes place whilst establishing safe boundaries to protect the mental health of everyone involved.
Practical Training for Real Workplaces
This CPD-certified course is designed for real mental health conversations between real people. We use facilitated, trainer-led scenarios to give real world examples of how to have difficult mental health conversations, whilst making sure colleagues are safe and supported.
Our trainers draw experience from their work with businesses of all sizes, across a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, rail, healthcare, charities, and more.
We focus on building skills, knowledge, and confidence, while keeping everyone safe and supported with clear boundaries. Instead of giving managers extra responsibility, this course gives attendees the confidence to actually deal with situations they’re already facing on a daily basis, but just don’t have the tools to tackle yet.

Mental health awareness is one of the most important workplace skills currently.
