Mental Health Support

Helping you and your teams to create a mentally healthy workplace

With mental ill health a leading cause of sickness absence, most companies now recognise the multiple benefits that come from investing in improving mental wellbeing in the workplace and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has further highlighted the crucial role employers play in helping to raise awareness of mental health and how it can be positively managed.

We have all had to adjust quickly to changes in the way we live and work and many of us have experienced increased levels of stress, anxiety or depression as a result. Having proactive mental health and wellbeing support in place for your employees is vital to help them cope with the challenges they face as we all continue to adapt to the new normal.

By prioritising good mental health and providing support for those who are struggling, businesses can help their employees to remain in and thrive through work and in turn reduce absenteeism and boost productivity.

Our range of mental health workshops, training programmes and consultancy services will enable you to meet the core standards for employers laid out in the Government’s 2017 Thriving at Work Report and embed a positive mental health culture at every level of your organisation, so that you can create an environment where your employees feel more valued, more engaged and more motivated to help your organisation achieve success.
