Mental health first aid | New course aims to help people managers support employee mental health & performance

Mental Health First Aid England has launched a new training course designed to equip people managers with the skills and confidence to support their teams' mental health while driving performance.

The Supporting Team Mental Health and Performance course responds to the growing challenges managers face in balancing employee wellbeing with performance expectations. With one in five workers taking time off due to work-related stress and poor mental health (Mental Health UK) and 63% of long-term workplace absences linked to mental ill health (CIPD), investing in management training is crucial for organisations committed to building thriving, resilient teams.
