Your Managers Want to Help — But Most Don’t Know How.

Even the best managers can feel out of their depth when someone on their team is struggling.

They want to say the right thing — but they worry about saying the wrong thing.

They care deeply, but they don’t always know how to turn that care into confidence, clarity, or calm leadership.

And when managers aren’t equipped with the right training, it doesn’t just affect individuals — it impacts the whole organisation.

What Are Mental Health Problems Costing Your Business?

When managers aren’t trained to recognise and respond to mental health issues, the costs pile up fast:

• More sick days and extended absence
• Disengaged teams and low morale
• Tension and miscommunication
• High turnover and rising recruitment costs
• Service and client delivery impact

These challenges aren’t just personal; they ripple through your entire organisation.

The good news is — with the right training, your managers can spot the signs early, support their teams with confidence, and create a culture where people thrive.

"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" - Manager, Interactive Investor

What if your managers knew exactly how to handle mental health conversations—without fear or second-guessing?

Imagine managers who:

• Spot the early signs of mental health struggles—and respond with confidence.

• Handle sensitive conversations with calm, clarity, and care.

• Support their team without overstepping, rescuing, or burning out.

• Create psychological safety through presence and deep listening.

• Recognise their own signs of stress—and know how to ask for support.

This isn’t just mental health training for managers.

It’s a shift in Leadership.

Our Mental Health Training for Managers is built around a proven three-part framework — but it’s fully customisable.

Whether you need a single 90-minute workshop or a full day, we’ll shape the content and delivery to fit your management team.

Here’s how the framework can look in practice:

Module 1: Understanding Mental Health 

Help your managers understand what’s really going on—so they can respond with clarity, calm, and confidence.

In this session, managers will learn:

• Learn the difference between stress, pressure, and mental health conditions
• Recognise the early signs that someone may be struggling and need help
• How mental health conditions like anxiety and depression affect performance, focus, and team dynamics

Module 2 — Tackling Mental Health with Confidence

A practical, interactive session focused on giving your managers key skills — such as listening, empathy, and solution-focused coaching — so they can have effective, compassionate conversations about mental health.

In this session, your managers will:

• Practise real-life conversations using evidence-based tools
• Build confidence to address sensitive issues safely and effectively
• Discover how to lead with empathy — without overstepping or burning out

Teach your managers how to listen in a way that builds trust and leads conversations that make a difference.

Module 3 — Case Studies and Reflective Practice

This module brings together the learning from the first two into real-world scenarios, so your managers can apply their knowledge with confidence.

In this session, your managers will:

• Work through realistic case studies from your organisation
• Reflect on their own leadership patterns and communication style
• Leave with practical strategies they can apply immediately

Every module builds confidence, compassion, and communication, giving your managers the tools to support mental health for the long term.

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!
