Mental Health Training for Managers

We offer a variety of training options for people leaders, designed to help them compassionately and constructively manage mental health in the workplace.

It’s safe to say that being a manager in today’s workplace involves more
than just technical skills. From workplace stress and burnout to instances of depression or panic attacks, the ways in which employee mental health is managed has an enormous impact on both the culture and competency of
an organisation.

That’s why Luminate offer training that equips managers with the skills and
know-how to make a positive impact on the mental health of their reports.

We offer:

Mental Health Awareness Training - Mental health 101; everything you need to know to effectively and appropriately support your teams
Mental Health Advocate: Manager Qualification – In-depth training to help you meaningfully support your teams and foster a culture of positive wellbeing
Wellbeing For Leaders | 1–6 part series - Bite-sized sessions that focus on proactive wellbeing measures to help your leaders and their teams thrive

Each course offers a solid foundational knowledge of mental health and illness, clear frameworks on how to approach sensitive conversations, and aims to instil attendees with a greater confidence, to go on and sincerely support their colleagues.

Client Testimonials

Having worked with Luminate for various wellbeing initiatives it was a no brainer to ask them to deliver their mindfulness course to our employees. [...] They cover a range of mindfulness techniques so there is something for everyone and gaining insight into the theory behind such a fascinating concept really helped to highlight its importance and the positive impact it can have. I couldn’t recommend these sessions more highly for bringing something focused to the organisation which can benefit your employees.
