Anyone working for a small business in Wiltshire is invited to take part in free online or face-to-face training, either as either an individual or as an organisation, and to become Mental Health First Aiders or certified as Mental Health Aware.  The training is free thanks to Wiltshire Council’s UK Shared Prosperity grant funding.

Research suggests that poor mental health is responsible for 72 Million days lost* and costs UK employers £45 billion each year**. Open Minds has focused this investment on helping businesses to prosper whilst supporting their staff to thrive professionally and personally.

There are also informative downloadable films available, offering support and information to people supporting others or those experiencing particular Mental Health challenges themselves.

MHFA England certified training focuses on people understanding more about Mental Health, spotting early signs of people becoming less well, identifying and knowing how to respond to signs of crisis, understanding the impact of stigma and most importantly how to keep themselves well.

Tracy Sullivan, CEO of Open Minds Mental Health explains ‘ I am so thrilled we can offer free training and support to people in Wiltshire. I have seen firsthand the impact Mental Health First Aid and Aware Training has on individuals and the people around them and how it’s informed real culture change within organisations to enable people to thrive in their places of work whatever their mental health.”

Open Minds will also be offering post training support to organisations that feel that would benefit from some one to one support.
