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.

"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."
We have our own REACTMH trained staff who can train you and support you. We can also help you get connected with the right place to get the training yourself.
