In-House Mental Health in The Workplace Training Courses 

The Level 1 Award focuses on basic mental health awareness. However, this Level 2 course dives deeper into identifying mental health issues in the workplace and provides more practical strategies for offering support and improving overall well-being. The Level 3 Award offers an even more comprehensive overview of mental health and support strategies, and is designed for managers, supervisors and team leaders looking to promote positive mental health. 

 

Up to 12 learners can be facilitated per instructor. This ensures that each learner receives personalised guidance and every learner gains a sufficient understanding of mental health conditions and the best ways to support positive mental well-being. 

Yes, all our first aid courses are fully accredited and meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.

Yes, in-house training can be fully tailored to your team’s unique needs. This ensures the course content is fully relevant to your team and workplace, fostering better interaction and bonding between staff members. 

There are no specific entry requirements for these courses. However, learners should ideally be aged 18 years and over and must be able to participate in course activities and assessments. 

Yes. After completing one of our mental health first aid training courses, you’ll receive an accredited certification that demonstrates your understanding of mental health awareness, your ability to recognise early signs of mental health conditions and your confidence in supporting colleagues appropriately. This qualification helps employers meet HSE guidance around mental health in the workplace and promotes a safer, more supportive work environment.  

Your mental health first aid certificate is valid for three years. We recommend refreshing your training before the certificate expires, as good practice and workplace needs around mental health can evolve. Contact our team if you need to refresh your mental health training qualification. 

While there is currently no legal requirement for employers to appoint mental health first aiders, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance states that employers must consider employees’ mental health as part of their overall health and safety responsibilities. Providing mental health training helps organisations meet their duty of care, create a safer workplace and promote open, supportive conversations around wellbeing. 

Absolutely, mental health training can have a positive impact. Having trained mental health first aiders helps create an open culture where staff feel safe raising concerns early. This often reduces stress-related absences, supports earlier intervention and encourages employees to seek help before issues escalate. While mental health training isn’t a replacement for professional therapy, it significantly improves workplace wellbeing.  

Yes. Mental health challenges can affect employees regardless of where they work, and remote staff may even be at greater risk of feeling isolated or unsupported. Our in-house training is delivered on your premises, but we can schedule sessions when your teams are together. We can also arrange online training for fully remote team members. 

All of our mental health training courses, as well as our other training courses, are delivered exclusively in-house at your organisation’s premises. Public or open-enrolment sessions will be available in the future. Training can be scheduled at a time and location that suits your team, allowing staff to learn together in a familiar environment.
