The Health & Safety Executive states:
"You should consider ways to manage mental ill health in your workplace which are appropriate for your business, such as providing information or training for managers and employees, employing occupational health professionals, appointing mental health trained first aiders and implementing employee support programmes."

​
 

One in four people in the UK will have a mental health problem at some point in their life.

 

Workplace stress is one of the biggest causes of employee absence – and also one of the more difficult issues to manage. 

Poor mental health carries an economic and social cost of £105 billion a year in England alone. In 2018, there were over 600,000 cases of work-related stress, depression or anxiety.

​

You should seek government 'Ofqual' regulated mental health first aid training courses.

 

What is Ofqual? - The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation is a  government department that regulates qualifications, exams and tests.

 

Ofqual regulated mental health first aid training courses, teach delegates how to recognise warning signs of mental ill health and help them to develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone, while keeping themselves safe.
 

First Aid for Mental Health training is a vital necessity and it starts here!
