The course will cover the warning signs men may project when experiencing a mental health crisis, and teach ways to start conversations around the topic.

It will also equip businesses with the tools to create effective safety plans, apply British Standards Institute guidelines and provide support to meet individual needs.

We know distress can present itself in many different ways for men – this could be them being quiet, distant or even the opposite. That can make it difficult to know when someone might be experiencing mental ill health, so it’s really important we equip people with the knowledge to spot the warning signs.
