Training at your workplace, at selected venues or online where appropriate. We'll help you choose the right course and delivery option
From Awareness to Action
Why Early Support Matters
Changes in someone's wellbeing can be easy to miss, particularly in busy workplaces.
When people don't feel able to speak up — or colleagues aren't confident about how to respond — opportunities for early support and signposting can be lost.
What Your Organisation Can Do
Build mental wellbeing capability at the level that is right for your organisation — from improving awareness across teams, to developing Mental Health Advocates and more highly trained Mental Health First Responders.
Exmet Mental Health training gives people practical skills and confidence to recognise when someone may be struggling, start an appropriate conversation, listen effectively and offer support within clear boundaries.
More advanced training develops those skills further for challenging conversations and situations where wellbeing or safety may be a concern.
Poor mental health doesn't only affect the individual. Its impact can be felt across the whole organisation — through sickness absence, reduced performance, staff turnover and presenteeism.
Presenteeism occurs when employees remain at work but are unable to perform at their usual level because they are struggling.
Deloitte estimates that poor mental health costs UK employers around £51 billion every year.
