SMEs are the backbone of our economy\, it’s a sector bursting with talent\, entrepreneurship\, and potential. It is also one of the worst performing in terms of employee health outcomes\, with one-third of SME employees experiencing a mental health problem during their working life (CIPD\, 2016). Somerset Public Health have contracted New Leaf to deliver workplace emotional wellbeing and support for small and medium size businesses. The focus will be on the following sectors: \n\nVisitor Economy\nArts and Entertainment\nConstruction\nHealth and social care\nFarming and Agriculture\n\nMany SMEs say that they struggle to access mental health provision due to the costs involved or they do not know what to buy to best support their employees. This workshop will provide a good introduction to Mental Health and equip you with a toolkit that you can start using in your business. You will be invited to implement 5 key aspects of wellbeing into your business. \nPutting well-being at the heart of workplace design will allow us to grow a new world of work where we can look after our well-being and engage in this new economy and feel well in our being. \nWe are pleased to announce that our course has been independently evaluated for Continuing Professional Development purposes by The CPD Certification Service. This means our course complies with universally accepted principles of Continual Professional Development (CPD) and has been structured to meet the criteria of personal development plans. You will be asked to complete a pre and post course questionnaire in order to attend the training. \nNote: Participants need to attend all three hours to receive their CPD UK Certification. \nFeedback from previous attendees \nLaura O’Driscoll: \n‘To see a change we all have to BE the change. We can now embrace mental health and wellbeing into our businesses and support ourselves and our employees. For me that means educating myself\, putting into practise what I have learnt for my own business and helping my clients understand it too’. \nJuliet Love: \n“Thank you both for a really great session – I thoroughly enjoyed it and am really looking forward to the 2 day workshop when it happens.” \nSue Calvert: \n“Thank you for such an informative session – I have learnt so much but am not overwhelmed as the workshop was nicely paced and interactive. I will be able to use what I have learned in both a work and non-work setting.” \nTo watch a short clip from Becky with information about the course: \nCLICK HERE
