Managing Mental Health
Give your managers the capability and confidence to spot the signs and deal effectively with mental health issues with our training courses.
Enable your managers to manage mental health with confidence
Poor mental health costs employers up to £45 billion each year. But for every £1 spent on mental health interventions, they get back £5 in reduced absence, presenteeism and staff turnover (Deloitte,2020).
AdviserPlus Learning Solutions supports organisations to manage health and wellbeing proactively, minimise the risk of mental ill health on your business and your people, and help to promote and maintain healthy workplaces.
We will work with you to deliver training that complements and enhances your existing wellbeing strategy or can help you create one if you don’t have one.
Each organisation’s culture is unique and creating change around mental health is a complex task that requires a multi-tiered approach, which our team of experts is positioned to provide.
All of our course facilitators are mental health first aid instructors, accredited by MHFA England.
“AdviserPlus have supported colleagues in developing resilience strategies and behaviours which have been extremely well received, so much so we have asked this work to be rolled out across our business.”

Mental Health Awareness
Poor mental health is now the primary reason for staff absence. Mental health awareness training from AdviserPlus Learning Solutions offers a cost-effective way to promote mental wellbeing in your organisation and at home.
The outcome is reduced sickness absence in your business and a healthier, more productive workforce. Unfortunately, mental health issues still attract stigma and this can prevent organisations from giving team members the right support. This course will help managers become more confident in talking about mental health at work and build their capability in supporting colleagues experiencing mental health.
What’s covered?
- How to have sensitive conversations, building confidence and improving your core behaviour and knowledge around mental health

- Understanding the mental health spectrum, including stress, anxiety and depression
- The importance of self-care and managing stressors in and out of the workplace
