CPD Accredited Mental Health First Aid Awareness Programme
Our groundbreaking CPD Accredited Mental Health First Aid Awareness Programme is the next-generation of Workplace Mental Health - it’s not just a tick box, but the opportunity to ensure that Mental Health and Wellbeing is brought into focus across your whole organisation. This helps you to fulfil your duty of care to your employees and more.
Delivered over a 3-hour session, the programme encompasses theory and helps to build compassion and understanding across your teams. Once delegates have completed the classroom based session, they have a short quiz to complete in order to attain their status as CPD-Accredited Mental Health First Aid Aware. This remains valid for 3-years before refresher training is required.
Why Is It Important
The World Health Organisation has highlighted the importance of prioritising Mental Health just as we do our physical health—now is the time to act!
However, this is more than just “doing the right thing”. In a few hours, you can equip your wider team with a level of compassion and understanding towards Mental Health and Wellbeing, that they may not have been exposed to previously. This helps to position you as an employer that cares, which can help recruitment and retention as well as how you are perceived in the marketplace.
Employers have a fundamental duty of care to create and maintain a mentally safe environment for their employees, so this programme is vital for EVERY organisation that has employees.
Apart from helping to prevent psychological harm from the workplace and promoting overall wellbeing, a mentally safe workplace also experiences enhanced employee satisfaction and productivity and reduced absenteeism and staff turnover. This will enable you to serve your clients more effectively.
