Mental Health Skills for Managers

People managers are often the first to notice when a team member is struggling. Most don't feel equipped for that moment - not because they don't care, but because they've never been trained for it.

This MHFA England half-day course gives managers the practical skills and language to have effective mental health conversations with their people: earlier, more confidently and without overstepping professional boundaries.

Updated in 2024 with new content on stress, legal responsibilities and manager-specific scenarios. Suitable for people managers at any level, from those new to the role to those building on existing knowledge.
