What we did...
Mental health first aiders
We trained mental health first aiders from various departments to provide initial support to those who need it.
Shareable Resources
We worked with Greene King to understand their unique needs in the wake of COVID-19, and developed bespoke shareable content.
Train the trainer
We are currently developing a bespoke 'Trainer' course, which wil enable internal trainers to deliver across the business.
We met with senior leaders to identify their objectives and understand the various needs within the business. We developed a whole organisation approach, starting with tailored awareness training for CEO, Directors and Senior Leaders.
We deliver regular live sessions that go out organisation-wide around mental health and building resilience.
We are currently supporting them with how their reopening plans and how they look after the wellbeing of their people during more times of change and uncertainty.
A cohort of Mental Health First Aiders
We developed bespoke shareable content that they could immediately get out to employees and developed a framework of resources, reference materials, policies, training and an ongoing programme to ensure sustainability. They included:
CEO, Greene King
The session was a great opportunity to reflect on how and why we should always talk about Mental Health, and how we can support one another.

The best thing about working with Oakwood was their collaborative approach. They understood our needs from MHFA training through to Leading & Managing Wellbeing, as well as short immersive webinar sessions on looking after ourselves in Lockdown and bouncing back to reopening.
Our work with Oakwood gave us permission to discuss mental health at the leadership level and has changed the way our managers think about their team's wellbeing.
We've been able to measure the impact of these changes through our Lockdown 3.0 Engagement Survey and our annual survey.

CEO, Next
Terry was an excellent trainer and we came away with a much clearer picture of how mental health issues affect people at work. The training was engaging, accessible, informative, important and mind-broadening. Most of all, the training helped to dispel the stigma and fear of mental health - giving delegates the confidence to recognise some of the symptoms and a desire to do what we can to help people through periods of mental ill-health.

Oakwood have helped Next to embark upon their journey to improve the way those who experience mental ill-health are recognised, heard and helped. From the development of corporate objectives and a Mental Wellbeing Charter to the creation and delivery of a comprehensive training programme and procedures, Oakwood have been incredibly supportive at every stage.
