Did you know that for every £1 spent on supporting the mental health and wellbeing of their workforce, employers get (on average) about £4.70 back in increased productivity? (Poor mental health costs UK employers £51 billion a year for employees | Deloitte UK)

“Employers are increasingly putting mental health and wellbeing at the heart of their business and providing effective mental health support for their people. The benefits of providing targeted support for employees are clear and compelling” (Elizabeth Hampson, Deloitte partner and author of the latest Deloitte mental health research).

We’d love to help your organisation, and it gives us a great sense of satisfaction that we are supporting well-being in workplace communities and breaking down the stigma associated with mental health.

This in turn reduces the pressure on specialist mental health services so it’s a win-win situation for everyone.  

Feedback from a bespoke in-house training package we ran at Metrolink.

Watch the following video to hear about the impact our bespoke training package developed for Metrolink had on frontline employees.

The course aimed to increase understanding around mental health and equip staff with the skills to support someone in distress. 

“I benefited from getting involved and opening up about personal issues past and present. I really enjoyed the learning style of understanding the theory and then doing an exercise to share thoughts and relating it back to Metrolink every time, so it’s practical advice you can use.”

“I honestly enjoyed the way in which the subject matter was delivered. I have undergone many such training courses that have been boring and poorly delivered. This was one of the best I’ve been on.”

The Recovery Academy firmly believes in staff wellbeing and provides a training programme aimed at supporting organisations to create a positive culture around mental health in the workplace.

Our ‘Healthy Minds for Healthy Lives’ buddy training programme aims to equip employees with the key skills to promote change around how mental health is viewed in the workplace and enables them to learn and apply skills to support their colleagues when they need it.
