Mental health in the workplace is essential from both a duty of care perspective and an economic one. Stress, burnout, and poor mental wellbeing impact productivity, performance, and staff retention. That's why we're proud to share AWARE NI's first free mental health webinar focused on workplace wellbeing.

We'd like to continue utilising webinars to raise awareness of mental health, educate individuals and organisations about strategies to maintain good mental wellbeing and know where to seek support, AND create a new source of long-form mental health educational content on our YouTube platform.

✅ What You'll Learn

This webinar includes content from our Mood Matters Workplace Programme, an evidence-based training session trusted by organisations across Northern Ireland.

Topics include:

✅ What mental health is

✅ Understanding stress and anxiety

✅ Recognising signs of depression

✅ The impact of workplace culture on wellbeing

✅ The PHA Five Ways to Wellbeing

✅ Simple Cognitive Behavioural Techniques (CBT) you can use daily

✅ How AWARE NI supports organisations with training and programmes

📌 No previous mental health training required — suitable for all staff levels.

💼 Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters

Poor mental health is one of the leading causes of staff absenteeism in Northern Ireland and the UK. According to recent research:

• 17.9 million working days are lost to stress, anxiety or depression in the UK 2019/20.
• Mental health costs the NI economy £3.4 billion per year.
• There is a positive return on investment of around £5 for every £1 spent on mental health interventions in the workplace.

AWARE NI offer specialist workplace wellbeing training across Northern Ireland, with programmes for individuals, managers, and to create workplace mental health champions.
