Mental health and wellbeing matter so much.
Iโd even say mental health is more important than physical health.
๐ Good mental health helps you cope when physical health isnโt great.
๐ When both are struggling, everything becomes so much harder.
๐ And even when your physical health is fine, itโs your mental wellbeing that shapes how you truly feel.
๐ And yes โ chronic pain or long-term illness can absolutely affect mental health too.
Want to strengthen your mental wellbeing?
Want to support others?
Know someone who would benefit from these courses?
Our upcoming Mental Health & Wellbeing courses are open to the public โ and we can run sessions for your organisation too.

Mental health training makes good business sense.
Poor mental health costs organisations through burnout, presenteeism, absence, and staff turnover โ but the right training can change that.
๐ For every ยฃ1 invested in mental health support, businesses see an average return of ยฃ4.70.
Mental health training helps:
โ๏ธ Spot concerns early
โ๏ธ Support staff before issues escalate
โ๏ธ Build confident managers
โ๏ธ Create healthier, more productive workplaces
Supporting your people is an investment โ not a cost.
Interested in mental health and wellbeing training for your team? Get in touch to discuss your options.

Poor mental health costs UK employers ยฃ51 billion every year โ and much of that cost comes from people struggling silently at work.

๐ Burnout
๐ Reduced performance
๐ Staff leaving due to mental health pressures
The good news?
For every ยฃ1 invested in mental health support, businesses see an average return of ยฃ4.70.

Be the first to know and let us send you an email when Pochat Training posts news and promotions. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
We also do bespoke training specific to the needs of your your own business or organisation.
Youโll be able to apply these skills, both in the workplace and in general life, after completing the course, making everyone safer. And HSE, Ofsted or CQC boxes can be ticked off.
Ever sat in a boring training session? How much did you learn in those? How much of that learning did you retain, and were you able to apply that knowledge in daily life?
We believe that learning should be fun, engaging, interactive and varied. Whatever the subject, you need to be engaged in order to learn effectively.
This is exactly what will happen when you join one of our training sessions. You will be fully engaged, you will learn in a supported and enabled way, you will actually enjoy yourself and have a bit of fun while learning about those more serious, and difficult, subjects.
Many of our courses are now available online, via tutor-led virtual classrooms and webinars, so you can train safely, knowing that you and your staff are safe from the virus, saving you travel costs and staff time besides.
