Workplace mental health training

We work with organisations to give workplaces the confidence to connect with their staff and to work together in a compassionate way.

Our team can deliver a range of workplace mental health training options, from 2-hour workshops and 2-day CPD-accredited courses to a bespoke set of workplace training modules tailored to your organisation.

Effective Workplace mental health Training

Our approach

This comes from a place of empathy and understanding. It is a non-medicalised and focuses on the understanding that everything that happens to us impacts our wellbeing. Our experiences impact our mental health differently – no two people are the same, so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

How we work

We focus on relationships, how to humanise processes, and how to create a compassionate workplace culture. This helps ensure healthier and more nurturing environments, positive working relationships, and staff who feel valued and listened to.

Why are we different?

Our approach goes beyond people’s past experiences. Our training courses equip staff with the knowledge they need to nurture their own wellbeing, support others, and know when to defer to specialist services.

We have worked with many organisations to support their mental health at work

Fabulous course. I’ve really enjoyed learning about looking at behaviours in a deeper way and learning about the secure base model. I will use this knowledge learnt in my work, my family life and be more aware to make time for myself. I will also pass on my knowledge gained today to my colleagues. Thank you ever so much.

The course was effective in giving some new perspectives on mental health and new ways of thinking about how best to support colleagues. I gained some really useful ideas for implementing a team approach, through reflection with other attendees and input from the trainer.

I thought that learning about the secure base model but in the context of organisational and team development and leadership was a unique approach and very welcomed. It sets a brilliant foundation for us in how we move forward in a compassionate way, being kind to one another.

The trainer was extremely knowledgeable about the field and when explaining, it was in a simplistic yet really informative way. I have come away from the training with so much detail and tips to help me in my personal life as well as my role.

Frequently asked questions

Research indicates that when staff recognise a lack of compassion at work, they experience higher levels of work overload and burnout, which ultimately leads to poorer outcomes for organisations. A trauma-informed approach acknowledges the impact of people’s experiences and focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment. Building a culture of understanding, trust, and compassion can lead to greater employee engagement, stronger team relationships, and improved overall workplace wellbeing.

Dr Sian Mulcahy, Head of Training and Delivery, explains:

“Leaders who prioritise compassion and build trust then create environments where employees feel psychologically safe and valued, developing their confidence, job satisfaction, compassion towards colleagues, and nuturing collaboration, respect, and harmony”
