The session

Make mental health a leadership conversation

Leaders shape the conditions in which people work and the way concerns are handled. This short MHFA session gives your leadership group a shared starting point for discussing mental health problems at work and practical support within a manager’s role.

Who it is for

Executive teams, senior managers and organisational decision-makers considering how to strengthen workplace mental health support.

What we discuss

  • Mental health problems in the workplace and why leadership attention matters.
  • How a manager can notice a concern, make space for a respectful conversation and connect an employee with appropriate support.
  • How MHFA training can help build capability across the organisation.

The discussion considers privacy, workplace processes and the limits of a manager’s role. It is a leadership briefing, rather than the full Standard MHFA course.
