REACTMH Training
REACTMH training – how to have supportive conversations
REACTMH® is a tool used in training, to help you to have supportive conversations with colleagues about their mental wellbeing. Research shows that many distressed people may not realise they are having difficulties, or may be reluctant, or not know how, to seek help.
Staff working in stressful environments can find it really helpful to have these supportive conversations with colleagues who have had the ReactMH training.

Is there evidence that it works?

Feedback from course attendees
“Thank you for organising this training and making it accessible to us. I think everyone should be encouraged to attend and put the skills into practice with their direct reports, colleagues and wider teams.”
"It was good to stop my usual work and think about wellbeing. The training gave a good reminder that we should always find the time for our colleagues and to look after each other."
