We spend a significant part of our lives at work, and finding fulfilment there can positively impact our mental health and overall wellbeing. According to the Mental Health Foundation, prioritising workplace wellbeing can boost productivity by up to 12%.

Teams that feel supported and connected work better together. However, our research shows that more than half (52%) of employees don’t feel comfortable discussing mental health with their manager. Given the influence of management on workplace culture, it’s essential that leaders are equipped with skills to foster a supportive environment - one where employees feel heard and are signposted to further resources when needed.

We work with businesses to empower leadership teams with the knowledge and training to hold supportive conversations around mental wellbeing. Our digital and in-person mental health training and tools help employers to facilitate positive conversations and create a healthier workplace.

What does our training involve?

Our CPD-certified training programme builds on the framework used to train thousands of Shout Volunteers. It equips leaders, managers, employees and volunteers with essential skills for supportive conversations in the workplace.

The training offers insights on advancing wellbeing and resilience, fostering a culture of trust and safety where people can engage meaningfully. Through experiential learning, innovative techniques and targeted exercises, participants gain resilience, strengthen wellbeing, and enhance both their own and their team’s performance.

Delivered in-person or virtually, the interactive sessions create a safe environment where attendees are encouraged to engage, experiment and share. Our facilitative approach translates ideas and theories into real-world practice, helping to drive positive change in workplace wellbeing.

Case Study: 'train the trainer' with Cadent

Cadent commissioned us to develop a ‘train the trainer’ programme aimed at enhancing workplace wellbeing and resilience.

We designed and delivered a programme to equip Cadent’s mental health leaders with the skills and confidence to hold sensitive, supportive conversations with colleagues who may be struggling. The training also prepares them to effectively train other team members on these crucial topics.

"The Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing session was a great success. Personally I had anticipated a session about supporting others, therefore felt uneasy at the start when we focused on our own wellbeing. However, the ‘penny dropped’ as we started to talk about supporting others, by knowing how we maintain our own wellbeing- we are best placed to support others with theirs."
