In January Mark Matthews introduced the concept of first aid training for mental health, suggesting that when an employee’s mental health is supported, they and the business benefit in multiple ways.  Following an expression of interest from several of our member companies we will be facilitating three mental health workshops over the next few months – the first in Newcastle, followed by venues covering the Midlands and the South. If you are based north of Newcastle, we would encourage you to register for this session based on the likelihood that this will be the most convenient location for you.
