i-act for Managers (Mental health)

i-act is the UK’s leading evidence-based and accredited mental health and wellbeing programme for understanding and managing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.

The i‑act programme is successfully being rolled out across many organisations throughout the UK and around the world (including local councils, corporate businesses, hospitals, housing associations, construction companies, universities etc).

There are two versions of the accredited i‑act training, one for specifically for managers and one for employees/frontline-workers. The i‑act course maintains a strong pro-active focus looking at how we might improve wellbeing to help build resilience and keep well.

The i‑act course gives participants a good understanding of mental health and wellbeing issues, and issues which may affect someone’s mental health and wellbeing. It will teach participants what to look out for and when they should intervene.

The i‑act course gives practical tools for supporting someone in a safe way and also offers a ‘first-response’ approach to supporting someone in distress.

i‑act Is Accredited By The Royal College Of Psychiatrists

i-act can be delivered either in person or virtually and our expert trainer Bethan Roberts has extensive experience in delivering a range of mental health training Bethan was also one of the first in the UK to become an approved instructor for the online course.

The online course is limited to a maximum of 14 participants to replicate the classroom experience, and is delivered via Zoom (please contact us to discuss if you would have any issues using this platform).

Once completed, managers will be registered, receive certification and have access to exclusive i-act online resources and support for 3 years.
