About Us
Creating Mentally Healthy Workplaces.
One Conversation At A Time.
At Great Minds At Work, we know that mental health is just as important as physical health. Founded with a mission to empower organisations and individuals to positively support the mental health and wellbeing of their workforce, we deliver accredited Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England courses that create real, lasting impact to all our participants and their workplaces. With years of experiencing in delivering mental health and wellbeing training, we are passionate about equipping people with the confidence and skills to support the mental health and wellbeing of both themselves and others.
Are you an employer looking to raise crucial awareness around mental health in your organisation? Delivering Mental Health First Aid Courses and training sessions to employees can help to create a positive, empowered, transparent culture where all staff, whatever their place in the company, can feel valued, supported and productive in their place of work.
