Are you Supporting Mental Health Awareness in your Business?

Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Training has developed a practical training solution to equip employers with the skills and understanding to effectively manage the range of mental health problems that now commonly arise in the workplace. 

Sally Lucas, Executive Director at Chamber Training commented: “According to the Office of National Statistics stress, depression and anxiety are now the largest reason for workplace absence. The number of days taken off for mental health problems soars by 25% year on year.

"We are seeing an increasing need for businesses to create the structures and gain the skills required to support their staff with mental wellbeing.

“Mental health problems can be extremely complex and our new course can help businesses to support people with mental health issues, ensure individuals have the right mechanisms in place to lead full and rewarding working lives – a win-win for the individual and the business.”

The Certificate in Awareness of Mental Health Awareness course starts on 14th January 2019 and runs over three days at Chamber Training Centre in Radford, Coventry.  It has been designed around latest research findings, and contains highly practical approaches to identifying mental health issues and creating the infrastructure to support individuals to improve their health. An added bonus is it also leads to a level 2 qualification, national accreditation for the skills and knowledge gained. We are also hosting the event in April/May, September and November 2019.

Subject to eligibility, employers can access up to 50% funding through Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber Training to help with the cost of the course. Coventry & Warwickshire Skills 4 Growth supports eligible SMEs to improve skills amongst the workforce.
