Mental Health Training for Plymouth Businesses and Organisations – How it Can Help Your Team.
Most teams intend to support staff with problems but lack the skills to do so effectively.
Spot Warning Signs Earlier
Early intervention is key to supporting a person’s recovery and there is solid evidence of how it makes a difference to outcomes. By being able to recognise behavioural changes such as withdrawal, irritability and concentration difficulties prior to a crisis, trained staff can intervene to support the person in order to assist their recovery.
Start a Supportive Conversation
Staff can be taught how to have a supportive conversation with a colleague who is struggling with their mental health. This can be done using a simple framework which clearly sets out what to say and what not to say. This is more than simply knowing that you should be supporting a colleague who is struggling with their mental health. Someone who has had training will actually go and have the conversation.

Those that receive mental health training are also able to recognise when someone needs more professional support and how to refer them on to the relevant person or service in an appropriate and supportive manner. Often this is one of the most practical things that people learn during mental health training, the boundary between listening to someone and referring them on to someone else.
Reduce Stigma-Driven Reactions
There is uncertainty around mental health issues and how they should be dealt with. This can lead to people avoiding the situation altogether or dealing with it in a clumsy way. Mental health training helps to reduce stigma and provide a shared language and way of dealing with mental health issues on a day to day basis.
