Mental health and wellbeing are essential components of a healthy and high-performing workplace. When mental health is supported, employees are more engaged, resilient, and productive, and the organisation benefits from stronger morale, lower absence rates, and a more positive working culture.
Employees are key to fostering a mentally healthy workplace. Their ability to recognise the signs of poor mental health, reduce stigma, and seek or offer appropriate support is vital to building an environment of trust, empathy, and understanding. Promoting mental wellbeing is not only about supporting individuals in crisis, it’s about creating a culture that encourages everyday care and open conversation.
This eLearning course, Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace, provides staff with an accessible introduction to mental health topics, helping them understand the factors that affect wellbeing, how to respond appropriately, and where to find support. It empowers individuals to take proactive steps to care for their own mental health and contribute to a workplace where everyone can thrive.

Mental health and wellbeing are fundamental to the success and sustainability of any workplace. When ignored or misunderstood, mental health challenges can lead to reduced engagement, increased absenteeism, and diminished team morale. As awareness of these issues continues to grow, providing mental health training is no longer optional, it’s a workplace necessity.
Offering mental health and wellbeing training demonstrates a proactive and compassionate commitment to employee welfare. It empowers staff with the knowledge and tools to take care of their own mental health, recognise early warning signs, and support colleagues in need, all while helping to reduce stigma and foster open, respectful conversations.
Investing in this training strengthens organisational culture, improves resilience, and promotes psychological safety. In workplaces where mental health is understood and prioritised, employees are more likely to feel valued, remain engaged, and thrive both personally and professionally. With the right training, your organisation can create a healthier, more inclusive, and high-performing workforce.
This course is essential for employees at all levels who want to better understand mental health, recognise its impact in the workplace, and learn how to promote wellbeing for themselves and their colleagues. Whether facing personal challenges or seeking to support others, all staff can benefit from building awareness, empathy, and confidence in discussing mental health.
The training is especially valuable for managers, team leaders, and HR professionals who are responsible for shaping workplace culture and ensuring the wellbeing of their teams. By equipping these individuals with the tools to respond appropriately and supportively, organisations can reduce stigma, improve morale, and build a more inclusive and psychologically safe environment.
Tailored to the Northern Ireland workplace, this course supports the development of a culture where mental health is prioritised, early intervention is encouraged, and every employee feels respected and supported.
This course takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, including an assessment. It is self-paced, allowing employees to stop and resume as needed, making it easy to fit into busy schedules. Upon successful completion, each staff member will receive a personalised certificate for their records.
