Our Mental Health & Wellbeing Framework

Mental health is now recognised as a significant contributory factor in long term absenteeism.  

Zevo Health has a tried and tested Mental Health & Wellbeing Framework covering all aspects of the continuum, optimising the use of research driven techniques to drive good health outcomes and value for our clients.  

One of our strong points is that our mental health solutions are work focused – we keep the client in mind when developing our initiatives and workshops, so that the themes are relevant to the workplace and provide toolkits that support both the organisation and the individuals alike.  

Zevo Health’s key differentiator from our competitors is the passion and outlook which drives our solutions. We are wholeheartedly committed to improving an organisation’s mental health & wellbeing and as such we understand the key processes required for this change to come to fruition:

Description

We initially started this workshop to help companies train their managerial staff to support their team members with their mental health concerns. However, we began to identify a trend occurring in the discussion around mental health in the workplace; managers and anyone who took part in the workshop also wanted to bring this support to their family and friends outside the workplace.
We then took it upon ourselves to create a tailored training session in mental health with all individuals in mind. The feedback from the course has been very positive.
With the pandemic and the impact of quarantine and isolation on our wellbeing, our mental health and resources to cope are being pushed to their limits. Now the need for each one of us to have the resources and knowledge to care for our mental health are more apparent then ever. That’s why we’ve adapted the initial course to make it suitable for anyone in the general public, not just managers, who would like to learn about mental health be able to do so. The pandemic has given way for us to reach a greater number of people through the online training and we anticipate the continued delivery of this much needed training post quarantine.
Training Duration: 1 Full Day or Half Day
Who should attend? The Mental Health Champion training would be ideal for anyone who wants to learn about mental health and how to support others with mental health.
Certificate: Participants will receive a digital Zevo Health certificate upon completion of this 1 day course.
CPD: Zevo Health are an accredited CPD training provider.

Half Day: 4 points | Full Day: 8 points

FAQ's

What is mental health?

The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined mental health as “a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community”. 

Who should attend?

The Mental Health Champion training would be ideal for anyone who wants to learn about mental health and how to support others with mental health. Research on early intervention paints a very clear picture: the sooner we engage imental health treatment, the better the outcomes are for the individual. Less pain, less distress and less suffering in silence. Early intervention allows people to build the emotional skills needed to recover and acquire positive coping mechanisms for their future.  

We all have mental health and at Zevo Health, we believe the shame and stigma associated with mental health should be a memory of the past. Our mission is to help people to thrive, and as human beings, we know that we thrive best in communities with strong social connection and support. 

This course will be relevant to the general public and their day to day experience of mental health which will be reflected in the learnings and language used throughout the course. 

Supporting people experiencing distress due to mental health comes with its own challenges, and we encourage that mental health champions have clearly identified support networks and processes in place that will enable them to remain mentally healthy themselves. 

Will I receive a certificate upon completion of this course?

Participants will receive a digital Zevo Health certificate upon completion of this 1 day course.

Is there a selection criteria for attending this course?

Whilst there are no formal selection criteria from Zevo Health for attendance of this course, we would encourage that people sign up to this course after considering the following points:  

  • You have a genuine interest in supporting others with their Mental Health.
  • You feel able to support others with their mental health issues.
  • You do not have a current unmanaged mental health illness. (If you are experiencing mental health difficulties and are not engaged in therapeutic or medical intervention then this may impact your ability to support others) 
  • You have good listening and empathy skills of the desire to develop these. 
  • You can remain calm supporting others during times of stress/distress.
