Having Lisa Whittleton on site supporting colleagues to train in mental health first aid has been an invaluable support for us here at Orbit. Our wellbeing strategy aims to create and maintain an environment that supports and improves the wellbeing of our diverse workforce. We have carefully selected mental health first aiders who have now been trained to raise awareness of those issues, manage one to one conversations effectively in a confidential space and actively participate in wellbeing campaigns across the organisation. We have built a passionate and knowledgeable team with the help of Lisa’s training and feedback suggests it has been a fundamental course to improve mental health issues in the workplace. We have also scheduled training with Lisa in delivering line management specific training within this area over the next six months, which allows our heads of service and middle managers to gain clarity on approaching colleagues and discussing issues professionally.
