Sofology
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 in-house offering, which consisted of Mental Health First Aiders and an overview module, but wanted a baselin,e 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 of the Mind Solution is that 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 sessions for all managers in development programmes and external candidates that we hire.

"Enthused by Their Energy"
Through Sara and Jill, I wanted to help my team thrive at work. My aim is for my HR team to improve their own understanding and give them tools and techniques to improve their personal resilience at work (and out). I am enthused by their energy and awareness of the commercial world and the impact negative stress has in the workplace and attending the event has helped the team to recognise how they think changes the way they feel at work.

"Thought Provoking"
I thought all 3 sessions were well done and thought-provoking for me personally. You certainly have a gift in your capability in this area. Thank you for sharing it with our team.

"Outstanding"
Sara, the facilitator was outstanding, from just one conversation she had the ability to expertly analyse the team’s needs and develop a bespoke wellbeing programme that was interesting and relevant. She was able to captivate and hold the audience all day, even though there was a lot of material to cover. This is an intensive programme that provides excellent value for money.

"Overwhelming Feedback"
It has been a long time since I arranged a course that has got overwhelming feedback from the management team. The Mental Health awareness course run by Sara had that effect on us. The training was engaging, fun, it made us reflect on our management of individuals with mental health issues and also reflect on the fact that we need to take care of ourselves too!

"Practical Approach"
We asked Sara to provide Resilience and Mental Health awareness training to our staff and managers in order to support them during a prolonged period of organisational change. Sara worked with us to develop a programme which was relevant to our staff and met their needs. Her professional and practical approach to facilitation allowed staff to explore a sensitive and complex issue in a safe environment. We received positive feedback on the sessions from staff and managers on Sara’s presentation style and understanding of the subject matter and the staff also felt she was able to answer a range of questions and support the discussions which arose during and after the sessions.

"A True Gem"
Sara is a true gem whom I greatly enjoy learning from. No matter the circumstance she always teaches in a way that makes me not feel judged and I feel validated in how I feel but she somehow is still able to teach me tools to use without being life, “You are wrong in feeling this way, do this and get over it” which is super appreciated. Tony was a nice surprise I knew there was going to be another instructor here but did not know that we would get a lot of coaching from him in this session and that was great. It brought in a different dynamic. Tony was insightful and brought up a great analogy, rumble strips, that I will try to remember but even more so I enjoyed the conversation about others words or actions and how we let that affect us, and how not to.

"Invaluable"
Sara recently delivered a bespoke ‘Inside the Mind’ webinar that explored the workings of the mind with supporting sessions on Stress, Anxiety and Depression for our employees. These sessions were interactive giving employees the opportunity to discuss the stigma associated with mental health and to share their experiences. These webinars have proved to be invaluable to our employees with the feedback being overwhelmingly positive including comments on the way they are making changes to support their own mental wellness – daily journaling, better self care and EFT practice to name a few!

Wellbeing Strategy, Staubli
Staubli UK has been working closely with Sara at The Mind Solution International to develop an employee wellbeing strategy. As a company, we’ve invested significantly in pay and reward, but this was our first step into mental health and wellbeing. We needed an expert to guide us, and Sara was that guiding expert.
From our first meeting, she put together a comprehensive road map to achieve our goals and has been steering us through the entire process. Sara met with each of the Leadership team to understand and get clarity on their vision for workplace wellbeing and to ensure the strategy aligned with our company and HR goals.
As a Leadership team we recognised we needed training to understand the different areas of wellbeing. We knew we wanted a wellbeing strategy but weren’t too sure what employee wellbeing looked like! As a result, Sara took us through a one-day leadership training course to provide us with that knowledge. She used great examples to bring the training to life and helped us see what we were already doing well! She also took us through a a powerful leadership exercise to raise our levels of self-awareness about how we show up and the impact that has on our teams which was very thought provoking.
Sara designed an anonymous survey to assess the current mental health and wellbeing of our employees across the whole of the wellbeing spectrum, including financial wellbeing. The survey results were enlightening and helped steer the key deliverables for the wellbeing strategy. The survey is also a brilliant tool for us to measure the effectiveness of the strategy. She explained that we didn’t need to launch everything at once and could roll out the strategy in line with key mental health dates. Sara also reviewed our existing wellbeing initiatives, including our e-learning platform, and used her knowledge as a therapist to highlight its insufficiencies. She provided access to The Mind Solution wellbeing platform, showcasing the significant difference in training quality.
We now have a 2-year wellbeing strategy in place, confident that it will meet the needs of our people and our business moving forward. Alongside her expertise, Sara has been fantastic to work with—asking thought-provoking questions, challenging the status quo, and bringing great fun to our collaboration!”
