Our mental health CPD accredited course aims to provide an in-depth understanding of mental health through a relational lens, challenging traditional medical models and emphasising the importance of connection, trauma awareness and relationships. Our team can help you to gain tools to support team wellbeing for employers, managers, and employees. This training aims to:
We are part of Platfform, a mental health and social change charity. At Platfform, we are part of a growing social movement that believes that a shift towards trauma-informed and relational approaches is fundamental to addressing the global mental health crisis. Medicalised approaches place problems on people and diagnose ‘disorders,’ we look at the bigger picture—their environments, experiences, and circumstances.
We don’t ask, “What’s wrong with you?” but rather, “What’s happened to you?”
There is a strong link between mental health and the workplace. We focus on how we can have these conversations at work, on humanising the systems we work within, making them healthier, more relational, and better connected, creating a place where everybody can thrive.
Mental health isn’t about what’s wrong with us – it’s often about what happens to us, or what should have happened for us but didn’t and the circumstances in which we are born, grow, live, work and age.
Mental health is fundamentally about social health, our relationships and the people we connect with can contribute to their wellbeing, resilience and ability to thrive.
Helping managers understand their role in creating a secure base for employees to explore and try new things while offering a safe haven to return to which will be supportive, encouraging, nurturing and non-judgmental.
The importance of looking after your own wellbeing, how this improves our productivity, our ability to do our work well and how much we enjoy what we do. Recognise leaders impact and work's role in fostering thriving through opportunities, purpose, autonomy, and fair treatment.
A space to reflect and engage in a process of continuous learning that will help facilitate organisational change. We will consider both successes and challenges, sharing learning from both. What's gone well? Why did I feel that way? What was difficult? How can I improve in the future?

“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 also gained some insight into areas where I was ‘stuck’ and ideas for how to move forward”.
