Overview
Leading with Mental Health will challenge stigma and give leaders the practical tools to spot signs of ill health. Our proactive approach to mental health aims to stop illness and enable early intervention.
This promotes quicker recovery for the individual, limits the impact of ill health on the College and helps employees be the best they can be. Upskilling yourself in this way boosts resilience, promotes engagement, and enhances staff loyalty.
