Our Mental Health Training courses will minimise the impact of mental ill-health in your workplace. We guarantee that everyone who trains with us will leave confident to take action.
Online mental health training
The demand for mental health training is increasing as many organisations move towards creating a wellbeing strategy that allows them to focus on their people.
Mental health charity, MIND found that over 60% of people say their mental health worsened during the pandemic and 96% of HR leaders have reported employee experience becoming much more important during the pandemic.
Organisations are looking at how they can best support employees with their mental health as well as promote a culture of positive wellbeing.
How can we help?
With online mental health training, we can help you to achieve this by bringing together employees who may be working from home, or in various workplace locations.
With an emphasis on consultation, we are able to help you decide which course fits your organisation best, be it our Fundamental Wellbeing training, a bespoke service of mental health training – created with you to allow content that matches with your organisation and policies, or MHFA accredited courses. We are able to ensure training is embedded successfully that makes a real difference for your people.
Training for a healthy organisation
What are the stats?
- Poor mental health accounts for more than half of all work-related illnesses, including 51% of long-term sick leave.
- An estimated 17 million work days were lost in the UK in 2021/22 due to stress, depression, or anxiety.
(HSE: Work-related stress, anxiety or depression statistics in Great Britain, 2022).
- According to a report by Deloitte in 2023, 64% of managers considered quitting for a job that would better support their wellbeing.
- Mental health issues can have a substantial impact on productivity. The Centre for Mental Health estimates that poor mental health costs UK employers up to £45 billion annually due to reduced productivity.

A Mental Health First Aider’s Story
“How to summarise the last couple of days? I have been on a journey of huge proportions. Gaining insight to the deepest parts of some ‘regular’ and ‘ordinary’ people; expanding my knowledge and avid interest in the subject of mental health; expressing myself in an incredibly candid and cathartic manner… I wholeheartedly underestimated the impact the Mental Health First Aid course could have on me. My faith in humanity, and the generosity in spirit of strangers, has taken a leap of restoration. I could not be more moved or grateful. And I implore anyone and everyone to take advantage of this life changing journey to enlightenment, courtesy of SkillBase First Aid.”
Lauren Rose, MH First Aider
