How can mental health training help your organisation?
Mental health training helps create mentally healthy workplaces.
Businesses that care about good mental health and wellbeing attract and keep staff. Mentally healthy workplaces are more positive and productive, and get the best out of their team.
The benefits also extend far beyond the workplace, with mental health first aiders able to support family and friends.
