Mental Health Training
Practical training and development shaped by what your people face every day and the difference you want to make
training that makes a difference
When work takes a toll on people, the impact reaches well beyond the working day. Pressure builds without anyone addressing it, confidence drops and many people feel unable to ask for help. For employers that often shows up as absence, staff turnover and teams that find it hard to sustain their performance.
Pressure builds without anyone addressing it, confidence drops and many people feel unable to ask for help. For employers, that often shows up as absence, staff turnover and teams that find it hard to sustain their performance.
A mentally healthier workplace starts with understanding, practical skills and an environment where support is part of everyday life. When people can recognise a concern and have a helpful conversation, teams are better placed to handle pressure.
Change Mental Health has spent more than 50 years supporting people across Scotland, and that experience, including the lived experience of the people we support, shapes every session we deliver.
The aim is learning your people can use and your organisation can build on.

how we can support your organisation
Our work focuses on three connected areas, alongside Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA) and established course with its own structure. Some organisations need support in one area. Others need a programme that brings several together. We will work with you to decide which approach fits. Whichever you choose, the starting point is the same: what people in your organisation need.
Supporting Frontline Teams
For people who deal with crisis and difficult conversations as part of their job. Teams build confidence in responding well, keeping clear boundaries and looking after their own wellbeing.
Developing Management Capability
For managers responsible for supporting people without always having the preparation to do it. They learn to address concerns early and create the conditions for sustainable performance.
Strengthening Mental Health Understanding
For team or whole organisations. Sessions build awareness, challenge stigma and help people recognise and respond to mental health concerns in themselves and in others.
Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid
A structured course during which participants learn to recognise mental health concerns, offer initial support and guide people towards appropriate help.
shaped around your organisation
Generic training rarely fits the problem an organisation has so we start with a conversation rather than a course list. You may have a specific course in mind or you may only know that something isn’t working.
Together we agree on the right approach.
A focused session
One specific session on a topic for a team or a whole organisation.
An established course
It might be Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid, which follows a set structure.
A connected programme
Learning for staff joined up with support for managers around them. Where your needs cross more than one area, the work can too.
