Most organisations want to know what is in a mental health training course before they book it for their team.
Recognising Signs of Mental Distress
The majority of our mental health training courses start with the identification of signs of mental health distress. Learners are provided with information regarding behavioural and emotional changes that may indicate that an individual is struggling with their mental health. The aim of this section is to ensure that staff members can recognise the early signs of mental health issues in order to respond in an appropriate manner.
Active Listening and Early Conversations
In the second section of the course, we look at how to have an active listening conversation and then explore how to continue that conversation in an early intervention sense. We look at how to have an initial conversation with a colleague and how to listen to them without jumping to solutions. We then explore how to respond to a colleague and how not to make things worse.
Understanding Common Mental Health Conditions
The majority of Mental Health Training Courses in Swansea cover a range of different mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and stress. Participants will gain insight into the effects that the conditions can have on an individual’s daily life and will look to eradicate any misconceptions or stigmas surrounding mental health issues. The knowledge imparted is generally grounded and consistent with core mental health competencies for the workplace.
Crisis Response and Signposting
Some mental health training programs also cover what to do in the case of a crisis where a person is in acute mental health distress and discloses their mental health problems to you. This would help learners understand what actions to take and what actions not to take and signpost to relevant services including the person’s occupational health service, their General Practitioner or a helpline.
Building a Mentally Healthy Workplace
These types of mental health training courses look at how managers and colleagues can create a work environment that is mentally healthy.
