Workplace Mental Health Essentials
A practical introduction for leaders to build confidence with wellbeing conversations at work
Build a clear, practical foundation for mental health and wellbeing conversations at work.
Workplace Mental Health Essentials supports managers and leaders who are new to mental health training to recognise common wellbeing challenges, communicate with confidence, and respond appropriately within their role. The course focuses on clarity, confidence, and shared understanding rather than complexity.
Introduction
Many managers are expected to support wellbeing at work without having received clear guidance on what is appropriate to notice, say, or do. This uncertainty can lead to hesitation, avoidance, or inconsistent responses across teams.
This course provides a practical starting point for leaders who want to understand mental health and wellbeing in workplace contexts. It builds confidence, reduces uncertainty, and supports leaders to respond appropriately while staying within clear role boundaries.
The focus is on awareness, communication, and responsible next steps rather than diagnosis or treatment.
Why This Course Matters
Mental health conversations are now a routine part of leadership, yet many managers feel unprepared to navigate them. Without a shared baseline understanding, leaders may worry about saying the wrong thing or overstepping their role.
This course matters because it establishes a clear, practical foundation that helps leaders feel more confident recognising wellbeing concerns, having respectful conversations, and knowing when and how to encourage further support.
