Overview

Managing with Mental Health in mind is a two-part course aimed at staff with management, supervision or leadership responsibilities. It will challenge stigma and give leaders the practical tools to spot signs of ill health. Our proactive approach to mental health aims to stop illness and enable early intervention.

This promotes quicker recovery for the individual, limits the impact of ill health on the College and helps employees be the best they can be. Upskilling yourself in this way boosts resilience, promotes engagement, and enhances staff loyalty.

Who is it for?

This course is aimed at managers and those who have supervisory responsibilities. If you are not a manager or supervisor but would like to attend the course, feel free to get in touch, and we will try to accommodate you.  
To better prepare you for this course, it is recommended that you attend Mental Health First Aid Half Day training.

This is a two-part course split over two days. To avoid a cancellation charge, you must attend both parts.
