What employers say
“Mental health knowledge, skills, and awareness training has played a role in trying to demystify the stigma around mental health, something that continues to be a challenge for a lot of organisations and people. The introduction of MHFAiders has helped to empower people across our organisation, at all levels, to speak out about their experiences with mental health, acting as visible role models. Overall, this has helped our people to gain confidence and feel safe to approach the topic, seek support, and resolve the issue before it’s too late.” Grant Thornton
“We are huge advocates for mental health as an organisation, so if a staff member wants to undertake mental health first aid, we will absolutely support it. It’s embedded in our culture, and we’re really proud that we have this support network that can be available in an instant, virtually, or face to face.”
“We’ve found that more people are actively seeking support. Our engagement survey has shown a reported increase in managers supporting employees. Across the organisation, there are managers equipped to support their colleagues. Mental health- related absences have stabilised, and there’s a much more open culture to discuss mental health at all levels.” HCA Healthcare
