Mental Health Awareness Training for Managers

Prevention is better than cure. Analysis from ‘Mental health and employers: the case for refreshing investment’ shows that higher return on investment can be achieved by early interventions, such as organisation-wide culture change and education, than more in-depth support that may be needed at a later stage when a person is struggling. We have designed this course keeping the above in mind.
