What previous delegates have said about training provided by Kipepeo.....

“Lively, stimulating and liked the video clips”

“A sound introduction to psychological issues in the workplace”

“Good - Andrew knows his topic”

“Excellent - video clips bring content to life in a realistic and every day manner”

“Plain language, jargon free and related to work/business rather than health”

“Excellent - far better than any Mental Health Awareness course I’ve ever attended”

The overall philosophy of our approach to training is the message that mental health issues, psychological problems and mental illness are just a normal part of everyone’s life. As with any illness or work related issue effective, early and appropriate interventions will benefit all, the organisation, the team and the individual.

A lack of understanding or an unnecessarily complicated approach can present barriers to effective management.

The key is to encourage everyone involved to take a balanced approach to any emerging issue.

Waiting for a crisis and then hoping that the Doctor or other specialist can solve the problem helps no one.

Every organisation, team and individual will be best served by a flexible and individual approach.

Summary of training options:

1	Awareness raising seminars. Brief seminars to raise the awareness of mental health issues at work and to enable those attending to understand that there are options that will benefit the organisation and the individual.

2	Half-day training. Ideal for all managers and supervisors who need to have straightforward guidelines on how to recognise possible problems, talk to the individual and manage the situation.

3	Full day training. A more in-depth training option for key personnel covering the recognition and management of mental health problems. Ideal for those managers with specialist responsibility such as HR who are more involved in case management and overall organisational benefit.

4	Team training - teams and work groups come together (not just managers) to learn how to recognise when a colleague is struggling and what to do. What to do to offer support and what to do when expert help is needed.

All the training options can be personalised to the needs of the individual organisation. Training has been designed by experts to ensure that delivery can be effectively provided to large groups, hence reducing per-head costs and maximising return on investment.

Providing the training that meets the needs of the organisation, the culture, working environment and issues is vital to facilitating any long term benefits for those individuals struggling and the wider needs of the organisation.

Train the trainer courses are in development and it is hoped to be able to provide an effective e-learning package in due course.

·	The focus is on “What to do?” not “What is wrong?”

·	What to do? As a goal means that terminology, diagnostics and complex principles are avoided.

·	Training is simple, cost effective and focuses on benefiting all involved.

·	Waiting for a crisis helps no one.

·	Supporting staff through life’s ups and downs is the responsibility of everyone, not just specialist or expert services.

·	Illness definitions and medical terms are best left to the clinician involved in treatment.

·	Use of video case studies provides an understanding of the signs to be aware off and how to question.

·	Jargon free content and avoidance of medical terminology removes the potential issue of training managers to be “amateur psychologists”.

·	“What to do” ranges from just supporting an employee through to urgent referral to the medical profession.

·	Keep it simple, straightforward and pragmatic.

·	Take into account the needs of everyone before deciding what to do.
