Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace – Level 1
Mental Health First Aid Level 1 Training – It’s estimated that approximately one in four people in the UK will experience a mental health condition each year. Furthermore, at least one in six employees will experience common mental health problems in the workplace. Research indicates that work-related stress is the leading cause of such problems, which can hinder individuals from performing at their best.
The stigma and fear of discrimination often lead individuals to conceal their mental health issues. It has been proven through studies that failure to address mental health issues in the workplace can result in significant financial costs for employers. Creating an atmosphere of fear and silence concerning mental health is not only detrimental to employees’ well-being but also affects the bottom line of the company. It is crucial for employers to prioritise the mental health of their workforce to avoid potential financial repercussions.
