1-Hour Workshop: Mental Health & Wellbeing at Work

1 Hour Online or In-Person Delivered by Christina James, RMN

A practical 1-hour workshop for teams and organisations — an accessible introduction to mental health and wellbeing at work, giving staff a shared language, simple everyday tools, and the confidence to talk openly and seek support early.

Printed Sanitas Hub Mental Health & Wellbeing Workshop takeaway booklets, presented by Christina James RMN

A short, accessible introduction to mental health and wellbeing at work — designed for organisations that want to give every member of staff a solid foundation without taking a full day out of the diary.

Delivered by registered mental health nurses, this 1-hour session cuts through the jargon and focuses on what people actually need: how to recognise when they or a colleague are struggling, simple tools that hold up in a real working week, and the confidence to speak up early rather than wait for crisis point.

What You’ll Cover

  • What we mean by mental health and wellbeing — and how the two differ
  • The difference between everyday pressure and a mental health problem
  • Common signs and changes to look for in yourself and in colleagues
  • How stress builds, and what it does to focus, sleep and mood
  • Practical wellbeing tools that fit into a normal working day
  • How to start a supportive conversation with a colleague
  • Where to turn for help, both inside and outside the organisation
  • Small everyday changes that protect wellbeing long term

Workshop Style

  • Plain-English explanations with no clinical jargon
  • Real workplace examples and scenarios
  • Practical self-care and wellbeing exercises
  • Open discussion and Q&A
  • Tools that can be applied immediately
  • A printed takeaway booklet to keep, written in a dyslexia- and neurodivergent-friendly style — short sections, plain language, and colour to guide you

The session is accessible and supportive, and suitable for all staff regardless of role or seniority — no prior knowledge is needed.

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.
