Overview

The estimated total cost of mental ill-health in England is £105 billion per year, and due to increased pressure from the pandemic, the Office of National Statistics (O.N.S) sadly reported depression rates doubled in 2020. Mental health in the workplace has never been more relevant but around 81% of employees feel there are still too many barriers and stigma around accessing help (Forbes 2020). Now, more than ever, it is important that teams are supported to thrive, not just survive and Deloitte reported in Jan 2020 that organisations can expect an R.O.I of 5:1 on embedding robust wellbeing strategies. The Mind Hub is a corporate mental health and wellbeing specialist, based in Berkshire, offering a comprehensive range of MHFA England courses and mindfulness programmes, virtually and in-person, to help support individuals and corporate teams build resilience, overcome anxiety, increase productivity, raise awareness of mental health and build on a sense of wellbeing in the workplace. Founder, Tricia Wilkie, worked for many years in the banking and pharma industries, experiencing her own mental ill health whilst also juggling a high-pressured job without support and feeling unable to speak up due to fear of discrimination. That experience has now become her driving force to help de-stigmatise, create awareness of, and normalise mental ill health because there is no health without mental health. As an accredited Instructor Member, approved by MHFA England to deliver adult MHFA training we can train your employees to become Mental Health First Aiders, which is the mental health equivalent of physical first aid. The online course leads to a qualification, a transferable skill, valid for three years. With 2 in 5 working age adults living with mental illness, training employees will help your your organisation cultivate a mentally healthy workplace, offering a front line of support for those experiencing or worried about their mental health.
