Mental Health First Aid Training now available

Mental health is now more important than ever, at Speedkix we understand the importance of promoting awareness and reducing the stigma that is associated with mental health issues in the workplace and let's be fair any organisation. That's why we run a range of workshops, mental health awareness events and we now run courses such as the Mental Health First Aid qualifications.

We can run mental health first aid training in Leeds, York and throughout the north east. We have courses that can be tailored to your organisation. All activities are designed to educate and empower your team to take care of their own mental well-being and support colleagues in the workplace.

Why mental health awarness is important in the workplace

There is now more pressure than ever for workplaces to do the right thing and look after both the physical but also the mental well being of staff. If you are an organisation that does not provide the right environment where colleagues can access support this will have a negative impact on productivity, morale and overall happiness in your workplace.

If an organisation does not pay particular attention to mental health then it will risk staff burn-out and losing valuable talented staff.
