Mental Health Responsive (MHR)

Mental Health Awareness Training for Managers, Team Leader & Supervisors

Mental Health Responsive (MHR) provides more than a practical understanding of the key issues surrounding mental health, both in the workplace and the wider community. The MHR workshops have been specifically designed to work on the core of culture within organisations of any size.

We achieve this through a consultative approach through a structured and supported system in real time.
