From stress to addiction to depression, 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health condition of some kind each year in England. Yet, it is still commonplace for colleagues to miss the signs of mental ill-health in their teammates, or if they do spot them, to feel uncertain or uncomfortable about how to proceed.
Our Mental Health Awareness Training gives your people the tools to support themselves and others. This course gives employees the very best chance of recognising an unwell colleague, a framework for knowing when and how to appropriately intervene, as well as how they can help support the individual on their journey back to wellness whilst protecting their own mental health.
This course is broken down into the following modules:
The factors that influence our mental health
The link between stress and mental illness
What are some of the common symptoms of poor mental health?
Looking out for physical symptoms, behavioural symptoms and signs in someone’s work
Understanding stress

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.
