Welcome We are Mental Health First Aid England. We’re a social enterprise with a vision to improve the mental health of the nation. We all know that wellbeing is good for business. Practical mental health skills and awareness training is a key component for creating a safe, healthy workplace where the mental health and physical health of employees are valued equally. It gives people the tools to support their own mental health and that of their colleagues, and encourages them to access timely support when needed. But training is just one part of the puzzle. Through working with over 20,000 employers we know that each organisation’s culture is unique. To be effective and have a sustainable impact, training needs to be implemented as part of a strategic whole organisation approach to wellbeing. That’s why, as well as providing practical skills, we can help you develop and enhance your wellbeing strategy, to help your employees thrive. If you are reading this you are already thinking about how to improve the mental health of your organisation. We are here to support you on the journey.
Poor mental health costs UK employers up to £56 billion each year. But for every £1 spent by employers on mental health interventions, they get back £5 in reduced absence, presenteeism, and staff turnover. (Deloitte, 2020)
