Mental Health Training for Managers

"Extremely valuable and insightful. Sara’s knowledge and skills and experience are tremendous."

"I found the training excellent and very pertinent to my role as a manager and also in my personal life. Sara’s knowledge and expertise are excellent and her delivery style is very warm, reassuring and encouraging."

“Greater understanding and awareness of recognising the signs of stress, anxiety and depression. Tangible actions and questions to use in line management conversations.”

“A really good, broad teaching overview which helped me as both a person, employee and a manager.”

"This course gives us the tools to have confident conversations around mental health and well-being. I would like to say Thank You to Sara for her passion, expertise and sense of humour delivering these sessions to us."

"We recently had a 3-series virtual Management Mental Health Training with our Principals. This was a great option because all of our Principals are in different locations across the US. Everyone found it to be highly informative and interactive. It was easy to ask questions and have a dialogue about the topics. We don’t think there would have been any difference had the training been onsite with all of us in the same room. The conversations we had with each other were very fluent and helped in gaining a good grasp on the material being discussed. We will keep this format for any other training we may have. Also helpful is the ability to record the webinars and refer back to the well-being portal to review for a period of time if needed. This training was very impactful for our Principal group, and the tools and techniques learned are being utilized during this current climate we find ourselves in. Highly recommend, and loved the fact that we were able to do this virtually.”

Many thanks to yourself and Avril for a fantastic course. On the whole the group felt it was a good blend of theory and practical exercises. Already this week I have used the breathing techniques with a young boy who was finding it difficult to keep himself calm.

"Thanks a lot Sara for your great support, mental health is critical for everyone to be able to have a good life, not only at work but most important at every level of their lives (family, kids, friends), to me the course was incredible"

"It was important to find the correct company to partner with to help carry out part of our wellbeing strategy that focuses on mental health this. We wanted all our Managers to attend, Mental Health (Awareness) Training to not only give more support to our colleagues should they need it but also to give the leaders of the business some level of understanding of this complex area. Sofology already had an inhouse offering which consisted of Mental health first aiders and an overview module but wanted a baseline consistent approach that we knew was externally ratified and delivered by professionals in this field. Upon contacting Sara at the Mind Solution it was apparent immediately how knowledgeable both her and her colleague Nicky were around mental health, the impact within organisations and the effect it has on both a colleague and business if training and support is not available. The vital USP that the Mind Solution is they get to know your business, what language is used i.e. colleague or employee, the internal statistics and any employee assistance programme or support already available in the business, making it even more informative and relatable to our colleagues. Since the training we have received a number of great testimonials from our colleagues stating how it is one of the best training offerings they have been part of and how useful this will be in their roles. Both Nicky and Sara are exceptional facilitators, dynamic, empathetic and informative and our colleagues remained engaged throughout the sessions. We believe in its value and the positive impact on a personal level some managers have said that it has had that we committed to 6 monthly (numbers dependant) sessions for all managers in development programmes and external candidates that we hire."
