A workplace culture that supports mental health can benefit from employees who are happier, more productive, motivated, easier to retain and less likely to contribute towards absenteeism and labour turnover.
Employers can take pride in mobilising this programme that can benefit individuals and the organisation as a whole.

Mental Health First Aid Training
MHFA (Mental Health First Aid) England Training is designed to teach people how to recognise those crucial warning signs of mental ill-health and feel confident enough to guide someone to appropriate support. The training has recently been updated with a bigger emphasis on supporting mental health in the workplace in a changing working environment, taking into consideration the effects of the pandemic and cost of living crisis.
