IOSH Approved | NEBOSH Silver Partner | 98% Client Retention | 400+ Active Partnerships
Recognise, support, and signpost at work
Mental Health Awareness training gives learners the knowledge to recognise a range of mental health conditions, start a supportive non-judgemental conversation, and signpost a person to professional help. Delegates do not diagnose or treat conditions - that remains with healthcare professionals. Opus arranges mental health awareness training through a specialist partner. Opus handles booking and queries, so the course sits alongside the rest of your H&S and people training rather than being a separate provider relationship.
