REACT Mental Health Conversation Training

The mental health and wellbeing of our people is of paramount importance. Having supportive wellbeing conversations enables our people to continue to effectively deliver patient care, as psychologically healthy people are likely to perform better. Evidence shows that managers and those in similar supportive roles who are trained in identifying the need for and facilitating supportive mental health and wellbeing conversations with their team members and colleagues can reduce their risk of longer-term mental ill health by 90%.
