Managing Mental Health & Understanding Mental Health
Introducing i-act for Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing
An effective, practical one day training to provide managers and practitioners with the skills needed to be proactive in achieving an improvement in their workplace wellbeing.
10 benefits of the i-act course
-
i-act practitioners and managers do not only improve the quality of people's lives, they also save lives.
-
i-act is an evidence-based course which is systematically reviewed every three years.
-
i-act is independently accredited by The Royal College of Psychaitrists.
-
i-act comes with a 168-page, evidence-based course manual, toolkit and resource pack.
-
i-act participants also gain access to online i-act resources.
-
i-act has fully flexible delivery to meet the needs of the client (full-day, half-day and bite-sized).
-
i-act comes with over 50 practical step- by-step tools and over 95 organisations to refer on to.
-
i-act was developed in the UK, has a UK evidence-base, and can be delivered anywhere in the UK and internationally (ideal for organisations with several offices around the UK and global companies).
-
i-act offers a ‘first-response’ approach to supporting someone in distress, it also maintains a pro-active approach to improving wellbeing in order to help build resilience and keep people well - hence i-act rather than re-act.
-
i-act offers specialist mental health training for executives, senior managers and line managers, as well as a general awareness course for employees/front-line workers.
We highly recommend this relatively new addition to our portfolio, especially for Managers. People will leave the course brimming with ideas and inspiration of things they can put in place – many of them immediately.
This is the practical course that Managers have been waiting for. It gives you a working knowledge of mental illnesses and other issues which could impact a person’s wellbeing, with the tools you need to manage a wide variety of situations. It is strongly in favour of a prevention focused approach – you will be surprised at the amount of things you as a manager CAN do. The manual is really outstanding - user-friendly and will be a much-used resource for you. You will also have access to many of these resources online for 3 years. You do NOT have to reinvent the wheel, so much is already provided for you.
Whilst first developed for Managers (i-act Managing Mental Health) there is also a version for anybody who is not a manager too – i-act Understanding Mental Health. It has the same strong emphasis on prevention in the first instance.
Both are also available online too, as a one day course.
