Mental Health Skills for Managers

Exciting news… This Friday 9th January I will be completing my Mental Health Skills for Managers, instructor training so I can start to deliver this amazing new MHFA course very shortly. Watch out for training dates, for this 4 hour course which can be delivered online, or face to face in small groups.

To create a mentally healthy, productive workplace, it’s vital to build supportive relationships between managers and team members.   
 
When workplace leaders, managers, and colleagues have the right knowledge and tools, they can better support their team’s mental health.   

Delivered by workplace mental health experts, Mental Health Skills for Managers will enable you to have meaningful and effective conversations with your people about their mental health and wellbeing for them to thrive at work. 
 
This four-hour training course will provide a consistent approach to mental health and wellbeing, promoting healthy performance across the whole organisation.  
 
This evidence-based course is ideal for people managers who want to help create an open culture around mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.

I recently completed a three-day training course with Christina James at Sanitas Hub to become a Mental Health First Aid practitioner and Neurodiversity Champion, and I cannot recommend the experience highly enough. Christina delivered the training with exceptional professionalism while maintaining a warm, approachable, and supportive atmosphere throughout.

I attended the 2 day Mental Health First Aider training with Christina at Sanitas Hub. The delivery of the course was exceptional and she really brought the subject to life. Despite it being taught virtually for the 2 days, I was completely engaged and despite some tough subjects, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to join this course.

I have just completed the MHFA course with Sanitas Hub, provided by Christina James and it was brilliant. She was an amazing instructor, gave lots of real life experiences and brought a positive energy to a difficult subject. Christina was understanding, and provided lots of extra information you cannot find online or in books. I would highly recommend her courses to others.

Christina James is an excellent instructor. After the MHFA course I feel more confident in helping others successfully and most importantly ensuring my own mental health is ok in the process. When it comes to any other related courses or refreshers I would definitely seek her as a tutor!

Highly recommend this course with Christina, she is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to mental health. A very informative & interactive two day training session. Care is taken when heavy subjects are undertaken to make sure everyone takes sufficient breaks & is doing ok. I thoroughly enjoyed it & feel like I have the skills required to go forward as an MHFA.

The course has been lovely, it was very useful to learn the material in the context of Christina's real world lived experience with some of the conditions mentioned on the course, and invaluable to find out best practice tips when approaching such cases. The format was brilliant and interaction in the group was very helpful.
