Certified mental health and wellbeing training for managers and teams, from £65 + VAT per person or £500 + VAT per team, with a complimentary one-hour introductory session.
WORKPLACE WELLBEING TRAINING
Managers usually know when someone is struggling. They do not always know what to say, what support to offer or when to involve someone else. This practical training fixes that: spot the signs, start the conversation and know what to do next.
Complimentary one-hour introductory session. Courses from £65 + VAT per person or £500 + VAT per team.

Courses run from a two and a half hour awareness session to the two-day Mental Wellbeing First Aider qualification, online or at your site, for closed groups of up to 12 people or as individual places on open courses.
You book through Beagle HR, so the training sits alongside the rest of your HR support. When a conversation turns into a sickness absence, a request for adjustments or a performance concern, we pick it up from there.
TRAINING OPTIONS
£2,145 + VAT for a closed group of up to 12, or £263 + VAT per person on an open course
For people taking on the role of a qualified Mental Wellbeing First Aider. A workshop-style course built around real case studies and the SkillBase A.C.T.I.O.N.S. plan, covering how to recognise declining wellbeing, start supportive conversations, respond in a crisis and provide appropriate ongoing support.

£1,485 + VAT for a closed group of up to 12, or £189 + VAT per person on an open course
For people who want the practical skills to recognise when someone may be struggling, respond with confidence and signpost them to the right support, without taking on the full first aider role. Uses the A.C.T. action plan for both emergencies and longer-term support.
Best for: supervisors and experienced staff who regularly look after others. Qualifies delegates as a Mental Wellbeing Supporter, certificate valid for three years.
£798 + VAT for a closed group of up to 12, or £99 + VAT per person on an open course
Particularly useful for line managers who care about their teams and want to recognise the early signs of declining wellbeing, challenge stigma, respond appropriately and connect people with further support. Delegates leave Mental Wellbeing Aware, with a workbook to keep.
Best for: line managers, in a half day that does not take them off the floor for long.
£500 + VAT for a closed group of up to 12, or £65 + VAT per person on an open course
An accessible introduction for anyone who wants to understand mental wellbeing better, feel more comfortable talking about it and help build a more supportive workplace. Covers what mental health is, stress, stigma, coping methods and how to offer initial help.
Best for: whole teams, as a first step. Digital resources and an e-certificate for every delegate.
£1,485 + VAT for a closed group of up to 12, or £189 + VAT per person on an open course

Free of charge
A practical introduction for organisations that want to improve understanding, encourage more open conversations and work out what further support or training would actually help. A low-risk way to see the training before you commit a budget to it.

All prices exclude VAT. Fees include course materials and certificates. Onsite closed courses need a suitable room at your premises, and reasonable travel is added where it applies. Open courses run online and need a minimum of eight bookings; if a date does not fill, delegates can move to a later date or take a refund.
Best for organisations that want practical skills and confident conversations, rather than a wellbeing policy that sits on a shelf.
Stress, depression and anxiety are the most common causes of work-related ill health in Great Britain, according to the HSE. In a small business one long absence or one unexpected resignation lands on the owner’s desk.
Employers are expected to assess the risk of work-related stress in the same way as any other health and safety risk, and a business with five or more employees has to record the significant findings of its risk assessment in writing. Trained managers and first aiders are one of the most practical controls you can show.
The signs to listen for are familiar: people issues taking up too much of your time, a loyal member of staff who suddenly wants to leave, an office manager weighed down by everyone else’s problems, or absence and lateness you cannot explain. Training the eyes and ears of the business means problems are picked up earlier, and you no longer carry every one personally.
The courses are delivered by Joanna Milligan, our wellbeing training partner and a licensed SkillBase First Aid instructor with senior HR business partner and coaching experience. Jo has spent her career on the employer side of people problems, so the training is grounded in what managers actually face rather than theory.
SkillBase First Aid courses are in line with the HSE guidance on mental health conditions, work and the workplace. Across the SkillBase network, 98% of more than 120,000 first aiders rate the training as excellent, and SkillBase backs its courses with a money back guarantee: anyone who does not leave more confident and competent is retrained or refunded.
Our sister platform Beagle Learning has a 30 minute online course, Mental Health at Work for Managers, that managers can do on a phone with no account to set up. Use it as a refresher between live courses, or for managers who cannot make a training day.
For the skills that sit around it, see Manager Toolkit and Training and our retained HR support.
