When It Comes to Mental Health, Most Managers Are Quietly Struggling

They’re expected to know what to say.

To spot the signs of mental health problems.

To respond with empathy.

To balance support with performance.

And all while managing their own stress behind the scenes.

Without mental health training for managers, most are;

- Worried they'll say the wrong thing, or make things worse.

- Unclear when to be proactive in addressing mental health.

- Feeling they have to 'fix' their teams mental health problems.

- Avoiding having the conversations due to fear.

- Lacking the skills and knowledge to create psychological safety.

- Missing red flags.

Meanwhile, the emotional weight is being absorbed by HR and People teams who are already stretched thin.

The cost isn’t always visible. But it’s there.
In the presenteeism.
In the absence data.
In the employee engagement data.

It doesn’t have to be this way. There’s another way to support employees. One rooted in presence, calm, and confidence.

What if your managers felt calm, clear and confident—no matter what they faced?

Imagine managers that...

Recognise the early signs of mental health challenges — and know how to respond.
Handle conversations about mental health issues with clarity and care.
Offer support without over-functioning, rescuing, or blurring boundaries.
Develop deep listening skills that create psychological safety.
Understanding what mental health is and can recognise signs within themselves they need support.

This isn’t just mental health training for managers.
This is a shift in how your managers think, lead, and connect — for good.

Let's Talk About What Your Managers Really Need

With over 10,000 one-to-one sessions with people, we bring to you a wealth of knowledge and expertise in mental health.

Our Mental Health Training for Managers is more than spotting red flags and knowing where to signpost team members to get help. Our training is designed to create empathic leaders, break down the stigma of mental health and provide managers with the knowledge and confidence to proactively address mental health with their team and themselves.

Empower Your Managers to Proactively Address Mental Health

Fear is cited as the biggest obstacle preventing your managers from addressing mental health with their teams. The fear of getting things wrong or making things worse. A close second is lack of knowledge. It's like trying to drive a car without having had lessons! A little knowledge goes a long way to empowering managers to take the right steps to address mental health and wellbeing with their team.

Reduce Mental Health Problems

Mental health problems are on the rise, which is increasing workplace absence and driving medical insurance claims through the roof. By investing in mental health training for managers you equip managers with the knowledge and skills to take a prevention-over-cure approach to addressing mental health within teams. Our science-driven approach to mental health training also directly impacts the stigma of mental health, creating a positive mindset shift in the way managers view mental health.

Create a Psychologically Safe Culture

Ways of working have dramatically changed, which has created more flexibility but also created a lack of connection. Managers don't know how to remain connected and spot the signs of mental health challenges with remote or hybrid workers. We provide your managers with practical and powerful strategies to remain connected with team members no matter where in the world they are and provide insight into how to create psychological safety with their team.

I can’t thank you enough for what you have brought to the table for me and for Grant PUD. You provided a number of wonderful tools for us to use both professionally and more importantly for me, personally. The self-awareness and recognition of others who may be facing crises (at all levels) and how we respond internally and in connection with others will continue to serve us well. Mostly, I appreciated the discussions surrounding our own vulnerability and how we, when we allow ourselves to be, open the door for others to do the same and trust is established and relationships(personal and professional) can thrive. Thank YOU!

- Dave Ponozzo, Manager, Grant PUD

The Results Speak For Themselves - So Do Our Managers

  ”

I’ve had conversations with people, and I’ve spoken differently with them and afterwards I’ve recognised I’ve spoken differently – a subconscious change in myself that I’d never spoken like that before.

Asking the right questions allows people to self-diagnose! Have already put into practice with colleagues, and even with partners and got amazing results.

People are coming to me a lot more and I’m building on that personal relationship.
