Did I mention Mindcare Training Wellbeing CPD is running TWO series’s this year:
One for Personal Development (post coming)
One for Management Development - details below.

There is an opportunity - once a month - to take time to reflect on your Management skills, to look for areas of growth and to walk away with practical, instantly applicable skills.

You’ll have access to industry professionals in the training room (over zoom) for 90+ mins, with the opportunity to experience practical, immersive, reflective training, ask questions, process real life scenarios and reflect on your own practice.

The Managers course in April is a 4 hour training session for building awareness around Mental Health and looking at support and care.

These 11 sessions are a unique opportunity to set time aside for your own CPD.

Here’s the skills build:

All sessions are 2:30pm – 4pm over zoom (unless stated)

Session 1 – Proactive Line Management – Thursday 15th January
Session 2 - Communication - Friday 6th February
Session 3 - Having Sensitive Conversations - Monday 2nd March
Session 4 – The Managers Course – Wednesday 15th April (1pm – 5pm)

Do some quick maths with me

I'm often asked to justify how the Mental Health First Aid course can help save money.

I'm all about the people - but I do get it, the money matters.

Let's say your company invests in an MHFA course with me

🤝 We chat about how it can be embedded into the fabric of your company.

🎯 We look at baseline figures within your company: mental health absence/general absence/stress, engagement with Employee Assistance Programs, stigma barriers around mental health, in order to gauge the impact of the training.

🏋‍♀️ We build a team across disciplines and management levels.

🎉 We deliver the training and celebrate the certification within the company.

📣 We advertise the role, add email signatures, plan events and are proactively engaged in the workplace.

💪 We book quarterly debriefs with your team and me, to keep the energy for the role at a good level (included in the cost of the course)

1️⃣ In a whole year, we only have ONE conversation. 16 people have been trained, only one had a conversation.

They noticed someone on the desk opposite wasn't doing ok; they'd started coming in late, they looked really tired, they'd stopped eating lunch with the team.
The MHFA asked if they'd like to walk at some point.
They opened a conversation up sensitively exploring the changes in behaviour, asking with care whether there was opportunity to support the team mate. The team mate says they were just about to quit their job, they can't cope with what is going on at home and at work any more, they are at breaking point. Together the MHFA builds a plan for support, with some reasonable adjustment, some access to talking therapies with the EAP and a conversation with line management.
The team mate feels cared for in a really challenging season of their life and engages with the support.
The team mate doesn't leave the workplace - instead, they feel a sense of gratitude for the care they have had.

❗ Here's the maths:

🙁 Cost of re recruitment and training = £25,971 (average according to AI)
🧐 Cost of a course for 16 people @ £325pp = £5200 (discounts available for certain sectors)

🫨 That's a saving of £20,771!!!!!! And that's if only 1 person had a conversation!

🤯 Let's times that by all the MHFAiders on the course = £20,771 x 16 = £332,336!!! Ok, now we are talking big money.

This is without factoring the ripple effects on the family and support system of the person receiving help.

🥳 16 MHFA's, one game changing conversation each in a year, a saving of £332,336!!!

If you want to have a chat - I'm all ears - louise@mindcaretraining.com or pm me.

Good morning all,

I'm just doing a little exploration into my socials page to see if it's coming up for people. I'd love it if you could do something for me if you felt able.

There are no reviews on this page yet so I would be so grateful, if you've had any engagement with us as a company, either with MHFA training or through the Wellbeing Series, if you felt you could review your experience.

I'd be so grateful.

Huge thanks,

Lou

📣 'The progress principle:

'Of all the things that can boost emotions, motivation, and perceptions during a workday, the single most important is making progress in meaningful work.' https://hbr.org/2011/05/the-power-of-small-wins

👊 As we know, I love to take a concept and run with it. Just to see if it lands.

I came across this concept of 'recording 'progress and victories' daily and sharing them', on my 'Effective Personal Leadership' course and decided to lean into the research.

I've bought a notebook for all in the house (my poor family and the lodger getting dragged into these things🤩 ) and at dinner time we are going to record a small wins for the day, even if the day has been a write off - there will be a small win.

I'm going to give it a few months to see how it affects the mind, the focus, the sense of self and wellbeing and the work.

I've got 3 in uni, 2 doing A-levels, and 3 of us working so it is going to be an interesting journey.

Howes, Howes and Management International (LMI) UK thanks for setting us off on this track - I just ran with it 😁 . I'll let you know how it goes.

Disability; Inclusion and Accessibility....

This piece has been such a privilege to flip. A request from a client; the expertise already in the Mindcare Training team - the content INCREDIBLE!

This session is an hour and a half; fully resourced with course notes and further reading links. It's interactive, reflective and challenging. It comes with certification for your CPD trail.

If you'd like to explore delivery of this session for your company; not just your legal responsibility, but your heart of care for inclusion - do message for a conversation about how we can accommodate you.

Silje Howes - what a piece - thank you.

Feedback Friday 😍 (from the course that ended last week)

"Louise was great, she made the course enjoyable and a safe relaxed room. Thank you so much Louise :)"

"This was a fantastic course which was expertly lead by Lou. The course was engaging and stimulating and I learnt a lot from it. Thanks"

"The practical implications of this course are amazing and so insightful, everyone would benefit from learning a bit more about the right language and how to approach people who might be struggling with their mental health"

If you look at the numbers of the courses I'm coming up to Course 100!!! Post covid.

📣 I'm looking to celebrate by offering a course worth of free places (16 places) to people that need it! If you can pay - please do. If you can't pay for whatever reason; I would LOVE to sub you to celebrate my 100! .📣

💪 Choose the course that works for you and pm me: use the code 100MHFA! to claim your place.
▶️ If you'd like to pay it forward and pay for someone else's spot, pm me for details. I'd love to partner with you.

📣 Mindcare Training is sooooo proud and honoured to announce our wonderful partnership with Care and Relief for the Young; a charity that breaths the values and principles of care and protection of vulnerable children, recognising the value and integral worth of each individual life. Let me share their vision:

🤩 "CRY stands for Care and Relief for the Young.

They are an international Christian children’s charity with the mission to empower children in the world's most disadvantaged nations to rise beyond poverty under the leadership of local champions. To fulfill their mission both now and in the long term, they concentrate their efforts on three specific strategies

▶️ Projects: They collaborate with native initiatives to empower children to rise beyond poverty in over 30 nations, mostly across the Global South.

🤝 Training: We provide learning opportunities to our partners in the Global South through third-party agencies, internal training, and by organising forums and conferences.

💪 Beyond (next-gen): We help raise the next generation of charitable leaders in the UK and beyond through various initiatives aimed at empowering youth"



I can't wait to get started on our work together.
