Mental Health In The Workplace Reviews

Very interesting, broadened my knowledge a bit more, I will handle things differently from now on,

Really helpful training and well delivered. Think would have liked an opportunity to problem solve as a group some issues managers have - however perhaps difficult to do with confidentiality.

very clear and concise information - thank you

really useful, lots of good content and ideas. It would have been good to have more time and maybe do a couple of interactive activities but overall really good. I will recommend it to my colleagues.

I found the first part of this training challenging. the first question was 'how would you know if someone is physically healthy' i expressed that i found this a tough question as i have an invisible disability and therefore look physically healthy however do struggle. This was met by a response 'is it a tough question?' and a 'yes i guess' and moved on making me feel completely disregarded. I really felt that because my comment did not fit the agenda it was disregarded. I have struggled for years with the stigma in society that if you look physically well and healthy then you are. This was again promoted in this mental health training that physical health can be seen and mental health cannot. I appreciated the sentiment that mental health/ ill-health cannot be seen however this really belittled invisible disabilities as it was made clear that physical health can be seen when this is not always the case. I was starting to feel that as a society we were becoming more understanding of the fact that individuals may have physical disabilities that we cannot see, however this seemed to be completely disproved. I feel disappointed that i came out of this mental health training concerned about the message that we are sharing with the county through this training. My mental health has been affected over the years due to others looking at me and seeing that i look young and physically healthy however am not, and therefore this training highlighted this yet again. It concerns me that if this is the message we are promoting in our training, is it also the message that is being portrayed to our service users.

Fantastic course, so informative and interesting.

Excellent

The course was very interesting and helpful. Emma was a very good trainer, as she came across warm and friendly. Emma made the course very enjoyable.

Thank you so much. Help to reinforce my current thinking.

easily explained, in detail and step by step. I wanted to find ways of reducing stress and learn what I could do to minimise it when it becomes noticeable. I have written down the different actions I can take which will help with this.
