Learning should be interesting, engaging & fun
Paws4Minds recognises the significance of knowledge in transforming attitudes toward mental health and promoting positive strategies for enhancing wellbeing.
Our aim is to broaden perspectives, foster understanding, and cultivate empathy.
We design and deliver engaging, interesting, and enjoyable courses, workshops & online training.
Mental health challenges can affect anyone and can change quickly. By equipping those around us to recognise when someone is struggling, potentially lives could be saved.
Management are not exempt from mental health issues either and we can explore ways to minimise risks and establish wellbeing initiatives that benefit the entire workforce.
Poor mental health leads to lost workdays, decreased productivity, and financial losses due to delays and the need for temporary staff.
By having a positive mental health policy and wellbeing strategy can help employees, employers and the organisation overall.
