Creating a mentally healthy workplace requires supportive relationships to be built between managers and team members. Our range of mental health awareness courses aim to help develop skills and increase confidence by creating awareness, reducing stigma, and building psychological safety for all in the workplace.

Sharing best practice, delegates will consider practical actions they can take to support their teams and encourage wellness and recovery in the workplace.
