Hi, we're Mind the Gap and we provide Mental Health Training
What we do
We offer mental health first aid training sessions accredited by MHFA England. For Individuals, Charities and Industry in London and the South East of England.
Why is Mental Health Important?
Mental health has never been a bigger issue than right now. It affects us all in our family life and work place. Mental health training provides the skills to help manage health and well-being proactively, minimise the impact of mental ill health on your family friends or business and colleagues, and promote and maintain healthy workplaces.
In the workplace, poor mental health costs UK employers up to £45 billion each year. But for every £1 spent by employers on mental health interventions, they get back £5 in reduced absence and staff turnover according to a recent study by Deloitte.
Our training and consultancy is here to support you to manage health and wellbeing proactively, minimise the impact of mental ill health on your business and your people, and promote and maintain healthy workplaces.
