Yesterday, Hall Green NNS, in partnership with New Training, successfully delivered a Mental Health Awareness Training session. This session brought together professionals from corporate, healthcare, education, and non-profit sectors to learn how to recognise, support, and manage mental health challenges in the workplace.
Why This Training Matters
A mentally healthy workplace benefits everyone. By fostering supportive work cultures, organisations can improve employee well-being, engagement, and retention.
The training helped teams:
✔ Recognise early warning signs of mental health challenges
✔ Develop supportive workplace policies
✔ Promote open conversations and reduce stigma
✔ Enhance team morale and productivity
What Participants Learned
- Understanding Mental Health: Definitions, common conditions, and early warning signs
- Risk & Protective Factors: What contributes to mental health challenges
- Managing Anxiety, Depression & More: Symptoms, prevalence, and strategies for support
- Breaking the Stigma: How to create a culture of acceptance and understanding
- Communication Skills: How to start conversations and provide effective support
One participant said:
“This training was eye-opening. I feel much more confident recognising signs of mental health issues and supporting my team in the right way.”
This session marks the end of our Capacity Building programme for 2025, but there will be a whole new cohort of training opportunities next year, so keep an eye out!
