Mental Health First Aid Training Courses
In light of the current situation surrounding Covid-19, we are also offering our training courses in a live, virtual, interactive format. The content of all our training courses in stress management, resilience and mental health awareness can be tailored to focus on the issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, we have developed a number of courses which deal with the unique challenges employees and managers are facing during this time of unprecedented uncertainty. These courses are suitable for anyone who is looking to equip their workforce with practical skills to help them maintain their wellbeing and look positively to a time beyond the current crisis.
All of our training is delivered by experienced subject experts. Please see below a selection of our new in-house courses. Please contact us for further information.
