Being a manager in today’s workplace involves more than just technical skills. It requires the soft skills to take care of your team’s wellbeing and address their mental health needs.

Luminate delivered Mental Health Awareness for Managers training to over 200 of our managers – it is an engaging, informative and greatly received training. Working with Luminates employees and training facilitators was a pleasure.
It was a fantastic day – many thanks to Jana (and you, Mel!) for delivering such an engaging programme. We have had such positive feedback from everyone who attended. Jana’s presentation style has been particularly praised, and I think everyone has taken away a number of points from the sessions that will help with their wellbeing.
We engaged Luminate to run mental health awareness training with our managers. Mel’s delivery style was very positive and we felt the training had the desired positive impact.
Different learning styles were taken into account, as well the levels of experience in the groups. Feedback from participants was very good overall and the training provided a foundation for good management practice.
I can recommend Luminate as a training provider that is completely reliable, works to high standards and in partnership with their clients.
