At Mid Kent Mind, we pride ourselves on our holistic approach to mental health. We know that different things work for different people – and that individuality is key when it comes to positive coping strategies for our mental health. The same is true for businesses – with different sectors and enterprises facing different challenges and changing pressures when it comes to the mental health of workforces.
With this in mind, we have developed a scalable suite of support which will equip everyone from managers to frontline staff with the confidence they need to be proactive about workplace wellbeing.
You can view the sessions and workshops available under this suite below.
