It’s Mental Health Month in May!

Build your organisation's resilience with our Mental Health training

Mental health issues can have a serious impact on organisations, resulting in reduced productivity, increased absenteeism and higher staff turnover. It can also lead to accidents and safety risks, poor customer service and decreased morale.

Organisations need to take proactive steps to protect their employees from the negative effects of mental health problems. One way that organisations can do this is by providing mental health training for their employees.

Mental health training offers a number of benefits for organisations, such as creating a supportive work environment, increasing employee engagement, improving morale and reducing absenteeism. It also helps to foster an inclusive culture that encourages openness and respect for those with mental health issues.
