What does our mental health training programme look like?
The first step will be to arrange an initial consultation with you so we can fully understand your business and agree your exact requirements.
The programme is made up of a number of different courses, each providing different levels of understanding - starting at a very high level, down to an indepth understanding of mental health issues and strategies to deal with them.
We recommend that your employees and managers receive adequate training at the highest level .
