What is it?

A theatre-based workshop in which we meet a number of team members experiencing a variety of mental health problems, including those experiencing high levels of stress due to the pressures of their role.

The workshop is designed to be fun, engaging and at times challenging, reflecting some of the real-life scenarios that we experience in the workplace.

What will I do on the day?

Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with the characters to develop an understanding of the underlying challenges that may trigger mental health concerns.

They will also work with the characters to encourage them to access support, even in the face of resistance or reluctance.

embedding the learning.

Using a theatre-based learning approach to this course, we believe it helps really embed the experience of understanding mental well-being and your role as a Leader in supporting.

Because we experience first hand by observing a set of scenarios, we feel empathy and understanding with the characters and this helps drive a deeper sense of learning.

We can also support this with our blended and fully online course that can be used to top and tail our classroom based experience.

Some faq's about Mental Health Awareness & Your Role as a Leader Training.

Theatre Based Learning is the technique we use to bring learning to life by using our actors to perform scenarios, based on real case studies. Theatre Based Learning can be either observational (where learners watch scenes and discuss) OR participative (where we use techniques like real-play and practice, forum where learners interact with the actors and direct them or hot-seating where learners give feedback to individual characters and make suggestions)

The TUC tells us that every two minutes, someone falls ill due to stress in the workplace. It is unsurprising therefore that over half of all British employees report suffering from mental health problems at some point during their careers. Strong management and leadership are an essential component of creating and maintaining positive mental health and wellbeing for employees. This 3 hour workshop is designed for managers and leaders who are responsible for others. Our Mental Health Awareness session must be attended first – we can deliver the two sessions together as a one day workshop if preferred.
