We have been at the cutting-edge of Mental Health Awareness and Risk management training in schools, colleges and workplaces for the last 10 years. As a result our training is the perfect synergy of the practical and the theoretical to help you achieve your real-world training goals. Our training leads to an increase in staff well-being as well as improved risk management with reduced risk liability.
The same facilitators who work in schools and colleges around the country every week are the facilitators for our courses. They bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and practical skills to our courses. Our facilitators work as easily with teachers, parents, youth workers and GAA coaches as with corporate personnel.

"Therefore, in order to ensure the workplace has safeguards against unreasonable demands, employers should have preventive systems in place. The employer may have the best intentions, but his/her legal duty goes beyond intentions. This is why the HSA promotes the putting in place of risk assessments and control measures so that employers can be assured that their management systems ensure the demands placed on employees are reasonable.
It is recommended that companies diagnose first, by carrying out some form of risk assessment or audit, and then proceed to tailor their intervention to meet the needs highlighted by that process. All of the above should be in written record format."
Our experience is that many organisations have underestimated the importance of mental health, not just in terms of staff welfare but also in terms of duty of care.
We put a particular focus on understanding the causes of mental health issues on a corporate and personal level. We provide comprehensive training in assessing the risk factors involved in order that those risk factors can be identified early, mitigated and preventative measures taken before a concern becomes a crisis.
