Businesses Offered Training in Mental Health Awareness
As the current lockdown restrictions begin to ease, Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Training is providing mental health training to help businesses manage the mental well-being of staff as we pass the pandemic’s 12-month marker.
Sally Lucas, Executive Director at Chamber Training commented: “As businesses start to evaluate their plans regarding staff working patterns and locations, it is important to recognise that some individuals may be struggling with their mental health and may be anxious about the prospects of returning to the workplace after working from home for many months. Even before lockdown, the number of days taken off for mental health reasons had soared by 25% year on year and this could be the tip of the iceberg.
“Research suggests there is a growing health concern with many businesses not having the skills needed to support their employees. Mental health can be an extremely complex area and the training we offer ensures businesses have the right mechanisms in place to support individuals, enabling them to fulfill their work roles.
“The Certificate in Awareness of Mental Health course starts on 7th June 2021 and runs over a three-day period. The course has been designed around the latest research findings and contains highly practical approaches to identifying mental health issues and creating the infrastructure to support individuals to improve their outcomes. An added advantage is it also leads to a nationally recognised qualification for the skills and knowledge gained.
“As a delivery partner of Coventry & Warwickshire Skills4Growth, eligible businesses are able to access 50% funding towards both accredited and non-accredited courses. We urge SMEs to get in touch with us to find out if they are eligible for funding towards such valuable business tools.”
