Why mental health training matters
Supporting mental health at work isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s a smart business decision.
- 72 million working days are lost each year to mental ill health.
- The total cost to UK employers exceeds £34.9 billion annually.
- Effective wellbeing programmes can generate a return of up to £9 for every £1 invested.
Training your people to recognise, respond, and refer can transform your culture, improve productivity, and strengthen retention, while building a workforce that’s mentally and emotionally resilient.
