Cultures are often unique to companies, but people universally need authentic, psychologically safe environments to contribute those cultures.
We developed this half-day online mental health awareness and wellbeing skills course to train leaders and line managers in the essential wellbeing knowledge and skills.
This interactive, skills focused course takes place over 3 hours via Zoom or MS Teams.
Understanding how to work alongside Mental Health First Aiders and develop the core skills will help managers lead their teams with mental health in mind.
We are instructor members of the only licensed Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Instructor Training Programme in England, accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health.

Cultivate connectivity between your people through a common language to enhance workplace wellbeing. A combination of appropriate learning interventions for your organisation will deliver lasting impact for individual wellbeing and productivity and contribute to overall organisational health.
In order to embed knowledge and a common language around mental health, we recommend training everybody in Mental Health Awareness, and then training 1 in 10 in every department, location or business unit to be a MHFA. Critically, line managers must receive training to understand how they can support team members and MHFAs in their work.
This is why we developed Genesis, a wellbeing solution that’s facilitated by managers in their teams, and that fosters open, honest and meaningful wellbeing conversation and turns everyone into a wellbeing champion.
