Celebrating Mental Health Week 14th – 20th May

Despite the growing conversation around mental health in the workplace, less than a quarter of line managers have received any mental health training. It’s time to turn talk into action. The MHFA England Workplace Wellbeing Toolkit can help your business develop a strategy to build a happier, more productive and mentally healthy organisation.

Mental Health Day was first celebrated and recognised back in 1992 and the the launch of Mental Health Awareness started in 2016.  It has helped highlight and address serious topics that people can be faced with every day and supports the issues and challenges that individuals have thought they could never overcome; topics such as:

  • Stress
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • OCD
  • Self-esteem
  • Phobias
  • Paranoia
  • Panic attacks and many more… 

1 in 4 people experience problems surrounding the topic of Mental Health and as a society it is important to be able to challenge the judgement attached to this issue and address the subject openly and confidently.

Each year Mental Health Awareness week is celebrated, and to encourage and support the importance of this issue, OMS are offering a discounted price for their 2 day Mental Health First Aid at Work training course on the 25th & 26th June at OMS in Leicestershire, please see the below link for more details and booking options.

The Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course is designed to teach people how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health and provide help on a first aid basis. In the same way as learning physical first aid, MHFA teaches people how to recognise those crucial warning signs of mental ill health and feel confident to guide someone to appropriate support. Embedding MHFA training within any organisation or community also encourages people to talk more freely about mental health, reducing stigma and creating a more positive culture.

This course will give:

  • A deeper understanding of the issues that impact on and relate to people’s mental health.
  • Teach practical skills that can be used every day, including being able to spot the signs and symptoms of mental health issues and feel confident guiding people towards support.

Organisations that promote staff wellbeing are rewarded in terms of increased staff morale and productivity and decreased sickness absence. Small, inexpensive changes such as relevant training, buddy systems and regular catch-ups with managers can make a huge difference and save businesses a great deal of money in the long run.

Mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health wellbeing and learning to cope with this can improve individual’s health, productiveness  & quality of life. 

If this is an issue facing your organisation, or if you would like to book on any of our Mental Health First Aid courses, please visit our website or call us on 01530 833533.  For further information please also watch our informative video made by Mental Health England.

Thanks very much for the Health and Safety seminar last week, I have had some very good reactions to the 2 days from all the participants.

I think it is the first time I have seen auditors still smiling after a two day course and a number of auditors have said to me that it is the best course they have ever been on. From a personal point of view I thoroughly enjoyed the course and, being a course presenter/trainer myself, I know how difficult it can be keeping an “audience” engaged on what can be a very dry subject - but you did it. These courses are the first time we have used OMS as a training provider but they will be our provider of choice in the future.

Inchcape Shipping Services have been working with OMS for some time on a number of high profile projects. They have successful delivered a range of safety training courses for our employees, as well as carrying Health and Safety and Quality Consultancy services, both in the UK and internationally. I have found that OMS have always provided us with services of a very high standard, their consultants are always attentive and proactive and they provided creative, on-time solutions that have added tremendous value to our business.

Simon Peters

Senior Vice President – Liner Operations, Inchcape Shipping Services

In my dealings with OMS I have found the consultants to be knowledgeable and capable trainers for Health and Safety training courses, and their Office Support for administration of courses to be both efficient and effective. I would not hesitate to recommend OMS as a provider of Health and Safety training.
