Mental Health Awareness Training

Mental Health Awareness Training provides participants with an understanding of what mental health is and how they can look after their own mental health and support others.  

The course covers the signs that may indicate someone is struggling with their mental health, the risk factors for mental ill-health and how these risks can be counterbalanced through practical strategies.  

People struggling with mental health challenges often do not seek support because of the stigma. The course addresses the stigma by emphasising that most people face mental health issues at some point in their lives, whether they are impacted personally or through someone close to them.

While it’s not a legal requirement, mental health awareness training is a key part of an organisation’s duty of care.

    Is there support available for participants after completing the course?

    Yes, the course includes practical strategies for self-care and mental wellbeing, such as the “5 Ways to Wellbeing” framework, helping participants protect their mental health as well as support others.

    Dan Dutfield – Group Safety Manager – Ei Group

    We worked with Praxis42 in August 2020 to obtain a Covid-19 Return to Work eLearning module for our staff. The module from Praxis42 stood out from others as it delivered on all fronts: the content was excellent, it was visually engaging as a result of using the latest eLearning software and the user experience was fantastic.

    William Brown – HR Manager – The Glasgow School of Art

    I would have no hesitation in recommending Praxis42 and their interactive and engaging training solutions.

    Ian Horsman, Head of Health, Safety and Environment at Atos UK

    The compliance learning management system tracks, records and reports on the training which provides just the right level of information for me to manage completion of the programme. Working with Praxis42 was very simple and they were helpful and professional throughout the process.

The quality and range of the e-learning courses, assessments and documents were excellent and the ability to tailor these to the specific needs of Hiscox customers greatly appreciated. The team has shown themselves to be highly professional, flexible and dedicated to building a long-term partnership with Hiscox and delivering a great experience to our customers.

    Chris Parker – UK Underwriting Vendor Manager – Hiscox

    Praxis42 understands how a compliance programme is delivered and supports me at a strategic level, with insights and help with what often appears a complex subject, with pragmatic clear guidance, advice and solutions.

    We like working with Praxis42 as they are large enough to manage the business requirement but are small enough to ensure that there is a personal relationship to assist with dynamic situations at speed to ensure that McColl’s needs are met.

    Alison Fagan – Health and Safety Manager – McColl’s

    We are delighted that our partnership with the Praxis42 team has been extended for a further three years and are looking forward to working with them on the next phase of our safety journey.
