At Positively Mental Health, we support professional organisations in creating mentally healthy workplaces.
Mental health challenges can affect productivity and staff wellbeing, but with the right support systems in place, businesses can help their teams thrive.
Our workplace consultancy and training services help organisations understand Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) and implement practical systems to support staff.
Trained Mental Health First Aiders within your organisation can recognise the early signs of poor mental health among staff. They are equipped to initiate sensitive conversations, offer resources, and guide colleagues towards appropriate internal and external support.

We provide one-hour consultancy sessions via phone or Zoom with the key decision-maker in your organisation (often a HR manager). During these sessions, we will:

We offer a 3.5-hour online lecture-style introduction to MHFA course for up to 30 delegates.
This session provides an overview of MHFA principles, practical tips, and strategies to support colleagues.
We request that a facilitator (ideally, the key decision-maker contact) is present in the room to assist with questions and feedback, ensuring an interactive and engaging experience for all.

Following the introductory workshop, staff who are interested in becoming Mental Health First Aiders can enrol in our Two-Day Mental Health First Aid course, which is fully accredited and supported by MHFA England®.
This course equips participants with the skills and confidence to act as Mental Health First Aiders within your organisation.
Positively Mental Health can help your organisation take practical steps to support staff and create a mentally healthy, resilient workplace.
